At Vatican Radio, Msgr. Andrew Wadsworth, executive director of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL), speak so of the liturgical legacy of Pope Benedict XVI:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Holy Father spoke to his own clergy, the priest of the diocese of Rome for the last time, he said two very significant things about the Liturgy: Firstly he said that the Second Vatican Council was very right to treat of the Liturgy first, because it thereby showed that God has primacy. And in the Liturgy the most important consideration is adoration.\u00a0 He linked this to the fact that he has desired that in the celebration of our Mass there should be a Crucifix on the altar.\u00a0 So that the priest looks at the Cross and remembers that it\u2019s the sacrifice of Calvary that\u2019s being represented in the celebration of the Mass and that the people should look at the Cross rather than at the priest.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIn relation to the New English Translation of the Missal\u2026it was the Holy Father who judged on the whole question of pro multis<\/i> “for many,” “chalice” rather than “cup,” those are his particular judgments and his prerogative as the Pope.
