Below we give an unofficial English translation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Within the structure of the Roman Curia, since 1988 the function of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments has assumed the form of competence to be found in the Apostolic Constitution <em>Pastor Bonus<\/em> (62-66). The three bullet points which lay out the activity of the Office are very important, as specified in para 64. Let\u2019s read them in their entirety:<\/p>\n<p>Art. 64 \u2014 \u00a7 1. By effective and suitable means, the Congregation promotes liturgical pastoral activity, especially regarding the celebration of the Eucharist; it gives support to the diocesan bishops so that the Christian faithful may participate more and more actively in the sacred liturgy.<br \/>\n\u00a7 2. It sees to the drawing up and revision of liturgical texts. It reviews particular calendars and proper texts for the Mass and the Divine Office for particular Churches and institutes which enjoy that right.<br \/>\n\u00a7 3. It grants the <em>recognitio<\/em> to translations of liturgical books and their adaptations that have been lawfully prepared by conferences of bishops.<\/p>\n<p>As can be seen, the norms enunciated here leave no room for doubt: the principal function of the Congregation consists in co-ordinating centrally the process of realization of the Liturgical Reform. This happens in three areas: in the area of \u201cpastoral liturgical activity\u201d, clearly orientated towards a greater \u201cactive participation\u201d; in the area of the drawing-up of liturgical texts and calendars; in the area of translations and adaptations carried out by bishops\u2019 conferences.<\/p>\n<p>These are precisely the three objectives which, during the recent decades, have given rise to increasing tensions between the institutional \u201ctask\u201d and its concrete implementation. Not only in the case of the latest Prefect, but in a long line of predecessors, the three above-mentioned objectives have appeared in a very sombre light, almost submerged by \u201cother duties\u201d, even contradictory ones. How can we forget that, in the very same year that this constitutional structure was born, an \u201dalternative competence\u201d appeared in the form of the <em>Ecclesia Dei<\/em> Commission on the use of the previous Roman Rite, a competence which was enormously augmented from 2007 until its expiry in 2019, but whose responsibilities have been transferred to the CDF when they would normally have fallen within the purview of the SCDW?<\/p>\n<p>It is nevertheless not difficult to observe how with each of the three key points of competence there has been a progressive transformation of those competences with the most recent Prefects:<\/p>\n<p>(a) The active participation of the faithful has been more and more moved to the back burner, while the serious suspicion was raised that \u201cthe assembly or celebrating community\u201d was the concrete manifestation of a dangerous \u201cabuse\u201d; and to get rid of this \u201cusage\u201d would be a good way of avoiding abuses in general.<\/p>\n<p>(b) The compilation and correction of liturgical texts and calendars interpreted the role of the Office more as one of a \u201ccurator of the museum\u201d rather than one of \u201csomeone cultivating a garden\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>(c) As far as translation is concerned, we had to wait until 2017, with the Motu Proprio <em>Magnum Principium<\/em>, to discover the original meaning both of the unassailable value of \u201clanguages as spoken\u201dand the function of episcopal conferences. And the long shadow of <em>Liturgiam Authenticam<\/em> still makes us feel the weight of a \u201cLatinist\u201d reading of the tradition, which regards spoken languages with suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>Getting out of this triple <em>impasse<\/em> which menaces the three fundamental tasks of the Congregation will be the job that the next Prefect will have to take on and co-ordinate, without forgetting that Roman congregations are not just stand-alone offices but collegial offices. Prefects are simply those who preside over the workings of an identifiable Office.<\/p>\n<p>The hope is that, in order to guide as delicate a process as the reception of the liturgical reform, the best possible liturgical competence needs to be put in place to co-ordinate the work, without thinking that the good sense of an \u201cinstitutional man\u201d or his spiritual wisdom would be sufficient in themselves. The logic of the liturgy is not to be understood solely by virtue of its exterior form or the truth of its content. A specific technical, textual and ritual competence is essential. For this reason, it would seem really incomprehensible that those who are not familiar with detailed liturgical niceties would be assigned to take care of such a task, as has unfortunately been the case during the past few decades. If it is normal that an expert in dogma is assigned to direct the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, an expert in diplomacy to direct the Secretariat of State, or for a jurist to deal with the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, then it should also be normal that those who know \u201cfrom the inside\u201d the ritual form of the life of faith should be called upon to direct the Congregation for Divine Worship. Such a decision, scarcely unreasonable, would once and for all be a way to honour the Second Vatican Council and enlighten the way in which it is received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrea Grillo reflects on the qualities required for Cardinal Robert Sarah&#8217;s successor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":54731,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3119],"tags":[106,879,3487,3486],"class_list":["post-54730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-plaza-new-ws","tag-liturgiam-authenticam","tag-liturgical-reform","tag-pastor-bonus","tag-translations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
