The experts at the Congregation for Divine Worship share with their fellow liturgists a propensity for spinning out of the air fussy rubrical reforms that they think address crucial problems--in this case lack of reverence at the Eucharist and a failure to distinguish between the priest and the laity. It contains numerous new prayers, endless rubrical instructions (five times lengthier than those of the Roman Missal) and an all-inclusive language which has banned male nouns and pronouns throughout ("We will obey God rather than man" becomes "We will obey God rather than human authority". Such an elevation is fitting as it is in accord with the elevated Christ on the cross and with rubrical gestures. |
