Rorate Caeli

Go do your homework and leave this to the grown-ups!


“Instead of anxiously wondering what Pope Francis personally thinks about every liturgical detail, we would do better to get on with the work we ourselves have to do,” [the bishop of Fréjus-Toulon, Dominique Rey] said in a recent interview with Vatican Insider.

That would be quite fine: if the other 4,000 bishops in the world were like Bp. Rey and, let us be honest, a handful of others.

With all due respect, it does not seem to be intellectually appropriate to appreciate every single liturgical gesture of Pope Ratzinger and then ignore the "liturgical details" of Pope Bergoglio because "we have work to do"... Signs of the times, signs of the times, we must pay attention to the signs of the times, and cannot be condemned for trying to understand them.
