Today Pope Francis made three important appointments<\/a> at the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Arthur Roche,<\/strong> 71, is the new prefect. He was previously secretary (i.e., second in charge) at the CDW. Roche has served as bishop of Leeds, England, and head of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy from 2002 to 2012, during which the revised translation of the Missal<\/em> came out. He is seen to be a company man with a quiet, \u2018can-do\u2019 ability to get things accomplished. This served him well as CDW secretary since he was in line with Pope Francis\u2019s vision for liturgy in a way that his boss, CDW prefect Cardinal Sarah, was not.<\/p>\n

Bishop Vittorio Viola,<\/strong> 55, is the new secretary. He is a Franciscan (Order of Friars Minor) and, since 2014, bishop of Tortona, Italy. He was ordained a priest by Bishop Luca Brandolini, one of the closest collaborators of Archbishop Bugnini who expertly supervised the reform of the liturgy after the Second Vatican Council. Viola had been mentioned as a possible candidate to become prefect.<\/p>\n

Msgr. Aurelio <\/strong>Garc\u00eda <\/strong>Marcias<\/strong>, 56, is the new under-secretary. He is from Spain and has been serving as an office head in the CDW. His doctorate in liturgy from Sant\u2019 Anselmo in Rome was on \u201cpresbyters in every church\u201d (Acts 14:23).<\/p>\n

It seems the Pope Francis is slowly but surely moving liturgical renewal to be more aligned with the Second Vatican Council and its reform of the liturgy. In replacing all the consultants<\/a> to the office for papal liturgical celebrations\u00a0in 2013, and in naming new consultors<\/a> to the CDW in 2017, Francis has reversed the previous trend of appointing figures skeptical of the liturgical reform or interested in reinterpreting it in a traditionalist vein. This redirection is a delicate task for Francis to carry out, for traditionalist currents have grown quite strong in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
