Many of the answers to the eleven questions are supplied with an explanatory note that provides more information about what may or may not be done in a given area.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps even more important than the individual particulars given in this document &#8212; which is an authoritative response to questions that have been raised about the implementation of the motu proprio, and is given with the Pope&#8217;s approval &#8212; is the restatement of the fact that the motu proprio has outlined &#8220;the direction in which we wish to move.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The positive direction underlined by this communication is the ongoing, fruitful reception of the liturgical reform itself, and deepening the Church&#8217;s unified assent and adherence to it. As Archbishop Roche clearly states: &#8220;We are all called to rediscover the value of the liturgical reform by preserving the truth and beauty of the Rite that it has given us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As such, the communication is a wake-up call to bishops, not only to implement the particulars of the motu proprio scrupulously, but also to grasp its spirit and support its direction.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full text <a href=\"https:\/\/press.vatican.va\/content\/salastampa\/it\/bollettino\/pubblico\/2021\/12\/18\/0860\/01814.html#ing\"><strong>here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212; rf<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The motu proprio has outlined &#8220;the direction in which we wish to move.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[3116,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-new-ws","category-ddw-holy-see"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
