Everyone knows how crappy ICEL has been, but it is being reformed. Why is this guy leaving just when there is hope of positive developments in accordance with "Liturgiam Authenticam"?

Thank you for bringing this point up. Is he really leaving though or is he making a political stand in light of the new developments which are poised to swing us back to the middle of the road so to speak. I suspect there is some fancy footwork and bridge building going on regarding both SSPX and the liturgical translations.

Why is this guy leaving just when there is hope of positive developments in accordance with "Liturgiam Authenticam"? Fr. Somerville left ICEL in 1973, but had been consulting for it ever since. His thinking, until recently, was very much in line with the sentiments expressed in Liturgicam Authenticam.
Perhaps he has no more energy left to fight the liberal oligarchy in Canada, which is now successfully passing its agenda on to a new generation to advance.

ICEL is beyond reform. You don't reform modernism with modernism.

He wants to remain as part of the Church, not as part of the soon-to-be-SSPX-of-the-left ICEL groupies.
