FULL AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN LITURGY
In a comments box lumen fidei posted a link to a blog that posted a link to an article in Adoremus Bulletin, written by Monsignor Richard J. Schuler, who is the pastor of St. Agnes Church in Minneapolis, about the true nature of that "full and active participation in the liturgy" that we have been brow-beaten with since Vatican II. Incredibly, he considers this to be primarily an internal factor and only secondarily a factor of physical activity. Even more incredibly, he says that the Mass should contain periods of silence.
Why did so few voices speak this wise message after Vatican II? Oh the problems it would have avoided!
The article was linked by the "Our World and Welcome to It" blog.
