A wise Quote.


“Every true reformer is obedient to the faith: he does not act in an arbitrary manner, he does not appropriate any discretion over the rite; he is not the owner, but the custodian of the treasury instituted by the Lord and entrusted to us. The whole Church is present in every liturgy: adhering to its form is a condition of authenticity for what is celebrated.”

-Benedict XVI.

Now, if only Pius XII,of happy memory, had truly known and understood this. Then we wouldn't be is the unfortunate situation that the church is in now.
