The author prescribes more play acting. It is as in some Catholic churches in the heyday of Vatican II derived contortions when we got church committees designing “creative” liturgies as in “how can we make it more relevant” and liturgy itself became a show, a performance. Praise God most of that is gone but Catholics have not shed the performance model of those days, not yet. The priest still faces the congregation and is still more in the model of an emcee than is meet.
**If we do, I believe we will reap the benefits of a people who will...
•become more biblically-informed and biblically-aware,
•embrace the beauty and value of symbol,
•begin to slow down and incorporate moments of peace, quiet, and thoughtful reflection into their lives,
•no longer be satisfied with being entertained, but seek for ways to actively contribute to the life of the body.
There is a better way.**
There is a liturgical way.**
The Catholic Church is a liturgical guide for all.
