The new Prefect of Divine Liturgy and Sacraments speaks.

In a a wide-ranging interview with Vatican News interview Cardinal-elect Arthur Roche, the new prefect of the DDWDS, discusses, among other issues, the lack of ‘religiosity’ surrounding Sundays in the West.  The interview lead-in speaks of the “beauty” of the liturgy – though the topic is never addressed in the interview, at least explicitly. The reader is left to wonder, yet again, what such references to beauty in liturgical conversations actually mean.
