present our translation of an interview with Monsignor Nicola Bux, published by "Tempi", which encapsulates the main elements of the so-called reform of the reform "promoted by Benedict XVI.
***
"In this way, it also prevents them from" the faithful can in some way relive the experience of the two disciples at Emmaus, then they opened their eyes and recognize him "." Here are admirably explained what was discussed when talking about bad liturgy. The quotation is taken from Redemptionis Sacramentum , strongly document by Pope John Paul II.
remain few and denying that in the liturgical field, official documents of Vatican II have been replaced by an invasive abusive "spirit of the Council." Two examples: Gregorian chant and Latin, the use of which was indicated between the "slogans" liturgical most important of the Council. Not well understood how, in practice, as we know, everything is gone. "Indeed, many wonder how this has happened," says Tempi theologian Nicola Bux.
"is a page that has yet to be clarified. The facts are these: Paul VI established the Consilium ad exsequendam Constitutionem of Sacred Liturgy , with the task of "running" what was in the Constitution reconcile Sacrosanctum Concilium . On this run has occurred because after all, confronted with the letter of the text and subsequent applications, there are notable differences. Take the Gregorian calendar. In issue 116 of the Sacrosanctum Concilium read that the Church recognizes it as "the chant proper to the Roman liturgy" and as such we reserve 'the top job. " Now, "singing his own" is a specific expression. Means that the Gregorian one with the Latin rite. Delete the song itself is like tearing the skin of a person. That is what has been done. " The reason is that not know what to sing. "But this is a false problem," said the theologian. "If we think of how many people sing motets only because they have been guarded and perpetuated: the Salve Regina, the Kyrie ... And then, really just cannot be in Italian for the people sing?".
The same Church throughout the world
biographers agree that the fascination of Catholicism on converts like Newman, Benson and Chesterton, was due also to that universality of the Latin liturgy that still plays an important role in persuading many Anglicans call Church of Rome. Now, in addition to Gregorian, some cover-ups have involved also into Latin. And yet, the Sacrosanctum Concilium in n. 36 expressly stipulates: "The use of the Latin language, except for individual rights, is retained in the Latin rites." "Translating these values \u200b\u200bto the languages \u200b\u200bspoken - sostienen don Bux – ha sido algo bueno, debemos entenderla. Pero el Papa ha añadido que «una presencia más marcada de algunos elementos latinos ayudaría a dar una dimensión universal, a hacer que en todas partes del mundo se pueda decir: yo estoy en la misma Iglesia». Al menos en la plegaria eucarística y en la colecta el latín debería volver. Entre otras cosas, Pablo VI estableció que los misales nacionales fuesen publicados siempre bilingües, italiano y latín. Para permitir en todo momento la celebración en latín, para tener entrenados a los sacerdotes, y finalmente porque el italiano cambia y las traducciones, a menudo verdaderas interpretaciones, tienden cada vez más a traicionar. Hay una Pope's letter as prescribed, have not obeyed. "
The liturgy is sacred if it has its rules. And if on one hand, the ethos, that is, moral life, is a known quantity for all, on the other hand is almost totally ignores that there is also a ius divinum , a right God to be worshiped. Don Bux said: "They say: God, even if there is, my life has nothing to do. Instead, God has to do with everything. "Everything belongs to me," reads the Scriptures, also the director's life belonged Monicelli. Attention, because the Lord is jealous of its powers and worship, above all, his own. On the other hand, precisely in the liturgical field we are facing a 'deregulation . " To underline how, without ius and ethos necessarily worship becomes idolatry, in his very recent book ("Going to Mass and not lose the faith"), Don Nicola Bux cites a passage from "The Spirit of the Liturgy" by Joseph Ratzinger . Ratzinger writes: "In appearance, everything is in order and presumably proceeds according to the ritual prescriptions. And yet, there is a fall into idolatry (...) is lowered to God at the same reduced level of visibility and understandability categories. " And again: "It is a cult made its own authority (...) becomes a party that makes the community itself; celebrating the community not only confirms to itself." The result is inevitable: "In the worship of God is passed to a circle that turns on itself: eating, drinking, fun." A domino effect.
is essential to note - writes Don Bux - that " caricatura de lo divino en aspecto bestial” es un claro indicio del hecho de que “el trastorno del culto arrastra consigo al arte sacro”. Es difícil no pensar en la arquitectura de tantas iglesias modernas. Decaimiento que concierne también a la música y las vestiduras, visto que en torno al becerro de oro se cantaba y danzaba de modo profano. En resumen, está todo vinculado a la liturgia. No por nada en su autobiografía (“Mi vida”) Ratzinger declaraba solemnemente: “Estoy convencido de que la crisis eclesial en la que hoy nos encontramos depende en gran parte del derrumbe de la liturgia”.
A gesture of ecumenism
Easily, who attended Sunday Mass in parishes ten different, it seems attend ten different liturgies. And if it is true that Catholic means universal, something that may not go. And yet, the encyclical Eucharist Ecclesia de was clear: "Liturgy is never anyone's private property, or the celebrant or of the community." Don's thesis Bux is to assist in the liturgy that could serve Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum that, in 2007, liberalized the extraordinary form of the Latin rite. For the theologian, "the two forms of the rite can be mutually enriching precisely from this religious climate of mystery, Sitz im Leben , living environment where you can find God." But can already make a first assessment of the motu proprio? Don Bux answers: "A week ago I was in Paris. The Mass, with an order, celebrated in the extraordinary form was really full of youth. The parish priest of Sainte-Clotilde celebrated quietly told me that the two rites, no problem. The truth is that we should all get rid of this deleterious contrast between old and new rite. Our beloved Pope encourages and want continuity. And to celebrate both the ordinary and the extraordinary means to implement the continuity of the Church. Let us follow him! ".
can not hide, however, that many who boycotted the Motu proprio. For everyone, the former bishop of Sora, Luca Brandolini, who at the news of the liberalization entrusted to the extraordinary rite La Repubblica have cried for that "day of mourning." And yet, in an ecumenical perspective, the liberalization of the old Mass is a step forward. "He has shown - add Don Bux - the late Patriarch of Moscow Alexy II, who welcomed the Motu proprio very clear words:" The Pope has done well. All that is recovery of the tradition about the Christians among them "."
As the theologian, "the movimiento de jóvenes creado en torno al rito antiguo está en fuerte crecimiento”. Pero ninguno, especialmente si ha nacido entre los años setenta y ochenta, puede ser “tradicionalista” en nombre de la nostalgia por los bellos tiempos que fueron. “Muchos jóvenes piden una sola cosa: encontrar lo sagrado. Esta es la razón del éxito de la Misa gregoriana. Ignorar este pedido, que tiene un contorno totalmente espiritual y para nada ideológico (como, por el contrario, se querría hacer creer), es al menos contradictorio para quien, por definición, debería «episcopein», es decir, observar, escrutar”. La situación es paradójica: “Se ha hecho de todo para renewing liturgy and attract young people, and just now they are not attracted. It is a fact that the Extraordinary Form of them do not just worship to the Lord. The liturgy serves to give the Lord the praise and worship fair. A liturgy that does not put in the first place the Lord is a fiction, and they do not realize this. When the priest prays the Eucharistic Prayer (ie, the climax of the Mass, His sacrifice for us) turning the vision of the people instead of looking to the cross in front of them, then it becomes clear they are not talking with the Lord, are not directed to Him And it is not without consequences: the faithful will driven to distraction, to the detriment of the participation. "
But what "back to the people"
is emerging a new liturgical movement which looks at the way Benedict XVI celebrate. "The most important thing that the Pope wants us to understand - said Don Bux - is the orientation of the priest, his eyes on everything. "Wherever the gaze of God is not determinant, everything else loses its orientation," writes magníficamente Benedicto XVI, y este es el nudo de la cuestión: la correcta orientación”. Parece, por lo tanto, haber llegado a un nudo riesgoso: “«Levantemos el corazón. Lo tenemos levantado hacia el Señor»: lo decimos pero no lo hacemos. Si el sacerdote mirara la cruz, o el tabernáculo, habría para los fieles un efecto fuertísimo. Si precisamente desde el ofertorio hasta la Comunión el sacerdote no quiere estar dirigido ad Dominum, es decir, hacia Oriente, tenga al menos la Cruz en el centro delante de sí”. Si miras bien, esto sería posible también con los nuevos altares, por lo que sin volver a destruir nada (hemos asistido ya a la insensata demolición de muchos ancient shrines and beautiful), it suffices to put the cross on the altar and turned toward her. Just as Benedict's, which the cross stands between him and the faithful, a cross is clearly visible. " In the end, Ratzinger had in mind precisely this when he complained that "the priest led the people giving the community the appearance of a closed in itself." However - it is objected - give back to the people or even just bring the cross on the altar does come within the meaning of treat. "I know the objection is the idea of \u200b\u200bmass-feast from the 'grass roots of the seventies' refuses to die. Thus was coined the term "Mass back to the people. " Can you really think that the people behind the priest would lose the sense of communion? But the fellowship, to be such, should not come before from the top? Really the mystery of ecclesial communion is solved by looking at the assembly? "Said Don Bux.
Strangers Bugnini attempts
then the lesson is silent on Benedict XVI communion on the mouth and kneeling. "An attitude of reverence - watching the boxers theologian - which slows the Communion procession and more aware of the gesture. Being always clear that Communion on the phenomenon is an act permitted by a pardon, that is, an act of limited duration, which in turn has become the rule. " Don Bux added: "Today too the tent has become a" sign of conflict. " Why did not understand that if the tent is no longer in the center, will not be considered as the center? ". Hence his proposal to the priests, the tabernacle exchange - based priests in the center of the sanctuary. "People will believe in the Blessed Sacrament, we priests, we would win in humility and the Lord will be restored its rightful place."
Returning to the Council "betrayed", Annibale Bugnini, undisputed protagonist of the liturgical reform, said quietly to L'Osservatore Romano: "We must remove from our Catholic prayers and liturgy Catholic all you can be the shadow of a stumbling block for our separated brethren, that is, Protestants. " Even beyond its membership discussed Masonic on which much has been written (including by the Vatican in 30Giorni Andrea Tornielli), the real question is whether an attempt has been mentioned as negligible compared to the situation today is the liturgy, ie what Benedict XVI called "strains the limits of endurance." "From their responsibilities - said Don Bux - Annibale Bugnini respond to the Lord. An aid to understanding the reform may Nicola Giampietro book containing the testimony of Cardinal Ferdinando Antonelli, authorized the star of that Consilium responsible for implementing the reform documents. Antonelli has written things decidedly strong climate had at the Consilium of which was the factotum Bugnini and also about the role of those six Protestant experts had a much greater role than mere observers. Certainly the newspapers would publish Bugnini Annibale secrets. If only for better understanding of what has truly been the post-conciliar liturgical reform. "
