Matthew Santucci of the Catholic New Agency reported yesterday that Pope Francis addressed members of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments to discuss the importance of liturgical reform as a core feature of the board “renewal of the church.”
The Pope highlighted that its been 60 years since the promulgation of Vatican 2’s Sacrosanctum Concilium document on liturgy.
“Without liturgical reform there is no reform of the Church.”
“A church that does not feel the passion for spiritual growth, that does not try to speak in an understandable way to the men and women of its time, that does not feel pain for the division between Christians, who does not tremble with the anxiety of announcing Christ to the people, is a sick Church, and these are the symptoms.”
