This promises to be a thought-provoking work.<\/p>\n<p>According to the chapter,\u00a0almost all\u00a0of those who are engaged in the current Vatican II debate have lost sight of the deep ecclesiological significance of SC for the whole of Vatican II. The debate centers instead on what he calls \u201ctechnical-liturgical,\u201d \u201cpolitical-ideological\u201d or \u201caesthetic\u201d approaches. I think he is onto something here. Ecclesiology is the more fundamental issue. His critique applies both to those who defend the reform and to those who attack it.<\/p>\n<p>Ressourcement, eucharistic ecclesiology, and rapprochement are the categories he uses to discuss the change in ecclesiological outlook represented by the Council. The book will offer further exposition of SC\u2019s role in \u201cresetting the relationship between Christian liturgy, spiritual needs of the faithful, and Catholic theological reading of the modern world in its historical and social dimensions.\u201d\u2014something that should be well worth reading.<\/p>\n<p>The book: <em>Reforming the Liturgy &#8211; Reforming the Church at Vatican II: The Deep Implications of Sacrosanctum Concilium<\/em> (projected press date, 2013). The author: Massimo Faggioli (PhD Turin; asst. prof.
