It has taken forty years, but the reform is now finally beginning.
It is good to know exactly who in the Vatican has been develping these disasterous changes in the Liturgy - I’ve heard about Archbishop Bugnini, but not Archbishop Marini. Thank you for posting this.
Sounds like the makings of a rollicking children's adventure movie Chris Weitz could make: The Golden Cope...The Magisterium Strikes Back.
I have truly hated and distrusted the word "dynamic" for years now . . .
Thus speaks one who is mad because he lost control.
revisionist history.
Marini is a snake in the grass.
Thank goodness neither of these 2 men were made cardinals and it was said that Bugnini was a Freemason.
I have also read stories and reports to the effect that Bugnini may have been a Freemason.
However, whether Bugnini was a Freemason or not, he nevertheless seemed to advocate the “Brave New Church” mode of worship.
Although I can’t remember where, I also recall reading something many years ago to the effect that it was Cardinal Ottaviani’s forceful intervention at one point that prevented the papal “rubber-stamping” of certain changes that might have rendered the Mass outright heretical.
Even at the time, the story seemed a little far-fetched to me since, as a Catholic, it has always been my belief that the Holy Spirit preserves the Holy Father from teaching error “ex cathedra” in matters of faith and morals.
Does anyone have any reliable information on the origin of the story of the so-called “Ottaviani intervention?”
