your criticism of the current form of the Roman rite is nothing but the same tired, boilerplate traditionalist talking points. in many places you demonstrate a very limited knowledge of history, and poor liturgical formation in general. I say that because you criticize even elements of the reform that are precisely a restoration of the most fitting and ancient practices to the Roman liturgy- for example, the Eucharistic prayer being audible, and only said after the Sanctus is completed.

Thanks for your comment! As I wrote in the first few sentences of the article, there is certainly nothing “new” in this little piece of mine. Also, regarding elements of the liturgical “restoration” of which you speak, Dobszay’s book Organic Development of the Roman Rite, which I mentioned in the article, has some very interesting things to say.

In another article, though, I lamented the loss of medieval tropes and sort of praised the Novus Ordo’s restoration of the troped Kyrie option ☺️
