I wonder how long FrancisChurch will tolerate His Excellency in the Diplomatic Corps?

Reverence is the habit of the Roman Liturgy but it is not the second nature to the Novus Ordo, "For example, the Roman Canon is just not the same between the two forms; the Novus Ordo form has been hampered in various ways", Nuncio to Switzerland, Thomas E. Gullickson wrote on his blog on August 5.
A day earlier he had celebrated a Pontifical High Mass in Salem, a town in the Diocese of Sioux Falls diocese from whence he comes.
The archbishop asks for a "liturgical restoration", "We need to get back [in the liturgy] to the work of God and relegate catechism to the classroom."
But he points to the "resignation" of those who believe that «we have no choice» but file away the old liturgy which they believe was "jettisoned", and carry on with the liturgy of the 1960s.
Gullickson considers this a "notion of progress which denies the fact that something better - which is our millennial patrimony [of the Old Liturgy] - is still very much there and vibrant" especially among young families.
"I live in hope of the restoration in liturgical matters and yoke it to a renewal of Catholic family life", he concludes.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
