Ca\u00f1izares\u00a0was appointed head of the CDW by then-Pope Benedict XVI in 2008, and he is seen as a &#8220;little Ratzinger&#8221; in his views on liturgy.<\/p>\n<p>Because Pope Francis never confirmed Ca\u00f1izares in his curial position but merely allowed him to remain in it, there has been much speculation since Francis&#8217; election in March 2013 that\u00a0Ca\u00f1izares would be replaced. Traditionalists were alarmed when <a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2013\/04\/04\/pope-francis-meets-with-marini-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pope Francis met with Archbishop Piero Marini<\/a> shortly after his election to the papacy, for Piero Marini is a disciple of Annibale Bugnini who carried out the liturgical reforms under Pope Paul VI. People on all sides of the liturgical disputes wondered, with <a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2013\/10\/02\/william-oddie-is-pope-francis-thinking-of-appointing-as-prefect-of-the-congregation-for-divine-worship-a-disciple-of-annibale-bugnini-deeply-hostile-to-benedict-xvis-reforms\/\" target=\"_blank\">shock<\/a> or glee,\u00a0whether Marini would be named Ca\u00f1izares&#8217; replacement.\u00a0But since Marini is 73 years old by now, some doubt that he would be named to the important curial post.<\/p>\n<p>John Thavis (a St. John&#8217;s grad, btw) calls it a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnthavis.com\/spanish-appointment-tells-curia-heads-you-can-go-home-again#.U_9UaVJ0zIU\" target=\"_blank\">new chapter in Pope Francis\u2019 revolution<\/a>&#8221; that Ca\u00f1izares\u00a0was sent back to a diocese after being a prefect in Rome. Thavis sees this unusual move as serving to &#8220;remind the prelates that their time in Rome is a sacrifice, not a career move.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It will be very interesting to see whom Francis names as new prefect of the CDW, and whether the new\u00a0guy is\u00a0more in the camp of Ca\u00f1izares or of Piero Marini.<\/p>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ca\u00f1izares is seen as a &#8220;little Ratzinger&#8221;
