This is what I do know. When we get Liturgy wrong, we get theology wrong and what our theology is wrong, we get the Liturgy wrong.

I caution Catholics when it comes to changing the Liturgy. I think this Pope is seriously discerning this, because we are very close to a Schism in the Catholic Christin Church!

And it will hinge on how much the Sacred Liturgy and the Theology is pervęrted.

I had only been aware that the wording in the liturgy had been put back in time, not just changed. As opposed to US Bible and prayer translations, the UK following suit, where many publishers over there have, proceeding the USCCB’s mummifying example, replaced the more reflective and considered resonances that were rich in meaning from texts and replaced them with that of simpletons.
