His contention, that this is a golden age of the liturgy, is evidenced by his observation that, perhaps as never before, many are deeply engaged, and well aware of the critical questions of the liturgy, and have a highly developed sense of their own role in the worship of God.

This is profoundly true! Today, more than at any other time in history, catholics have a broader choice in how they worship God. With 22 Catholic Churches celebrating liturgy through 8 Rites, there is no longer any excuse for turning away from Sunday worship.

I hope to see it within my lifetime.
