Pius X, XI, and XII as well as John XXIII all 'tweaked' the Old Rite--which is why it is referred to as the Missal of 1962--the year the last tweak was implemented. Reform happens. Stupid changes fed by inaccurate research and unbelievable hubris happen more often.

<> Look, I am in favor of authorised changes instituted by legitimate and competent authority. Others appear to object to change, period. I have never defended unauthorised changes. That goes against all I try to defend.

One problem I have is in designating a "movement" the Reform of the Reform. It implies, to me, a potentially endless series of quarrels and arguements over which of the potentially endless reformers will have the last word. My question about whether or not the reform of the reform can itself be reformed is serious. At what point does one relinquish their particular preferences in Liturgy for the greater good- comity within the communion.

If successfull, do the current reformers of the reform think there will not be others who think their particular prejudices, opinions, biases, in regards the Liturgy insufficeintly informed and yet will be satisfied to let that reform of the reform stand or will they not be encouraged to institute a final and perfect, in their minds, reform? ,> Four decades is enough. Faithfully implement the Pauline Rite with authentic translations and end the Liturgical Wars.<>
