In an article published in America Magazine in the late 80's or early 90's, Andrew Greely uttered these words, which I often quote:

"True Liturgical Reform in the Cathoic Church in the United States will only begin when the Last Guitar is smashed over the head of the Last Liturgist."

Does Father Greeley recall the original arrangement of the hymn, Silent Night? It was composed for guitar because the church organ was CASREP'd.

"...when the Last Guitar is smashed over the head of the Last Liturgist."

That could lead to the rise of the Liturgical Litigist.
