From the day that Vatican Council II issued its Constitution\u00a0<\/em>Sacrosanctum Concilium,<em> great advances have been made that are in line with the state of things prepared by the liturgical movement of the late 19th century and that fulfill those dearly held objectives for which so many churchmen and scholars had worked and prayed. The new Order of Mass we have promulgated after the long and able preparatory work of the responsible groups, with its new eucharistic prayers added to the essentially unchanged Roman Canon, has yielded special fruit: namely, a wider participation in the liturgy, a deeper, more reflective understanding of the sacred rites, a greater and fuller knowledge of the inexhaustible treasures of Scripture, an increased sense of the Church as community.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The passage of these last years has shown that we are on the right path. Sad to say there have been abuses and an excessive liberty in carrying out norms, although most of the priests and people have used sound and upright judgment in this matter. Now is the time once and for all to cast out the decaying leaven of harmful extremes, and to put liturgical reform we have approved, following the will of the Council, into effect integrally, i.e. by respecting the balanced judgments or criteria that inspired it.<\/em>\u00a0(Address to a consistory, June 27, 1977)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*<\/p>\n<p><em>Paul VI, asked by his philosopher friend Jean Guitton why he would not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncronline.org\/news\/spirituality\/attempt-resurrect-pre-vatican-ii-mass-leaves-church-crossroads\">concede the 1962 missal<\/a> to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and his followers who rejected the liturgical reform:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Never.
