He is only asking the bishops to do what they should have done thirty years ago, which is to accomodate the feelings of the faithful. Unfortunately, the reforms were rammed down the throats of the faithful. As the pope has said, the people got the feeling that the divine liturgy was, after all, only the work of men. How many Catholics were led to abandon the Church by this radicalism? My guess is that many of those who turned to evangelicalism were seeking some rock to cling to and found it in the Bible only dogma.
I've noticed that the liberals in the church tend to be passive-agressive types. That type in the hierarchy worries me more than muslims. Prayers for the Pope on this First Friday.
Robby, with all due respect, this has absolutely nothing to do with the feelings of the faithful. They are not in charge of the Church. That is what is done in protestant sects, who do things based on their own interpretations and "feelings."
It is an attempt by this Pope to bring the Church back to Catholicism that has been since it began. Not what was reinvented in the last 40 years.

I have often wondered about that. Our whole world seemed turned upside down in the twinking of an eye by the so-called reforms that followed Vatican II.
