	Francis Cardinal George - Sacrosanctum Concilium Anniversary Address The Foundations of Liturgical Reform
		Editor's note: As we reported in the December-January Adoremus Bulletin, in observance of the anniversary of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Liturgy, a day-long conference sponsored by the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW) was held at the Vatican on December 4, 2003.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium 7, continuing in the tradition of Mediator Dei [Pope Pius XII's 1947 encyclical on the Liturgy], defines the Liturgy as the exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium (the nature of the Liturgy and its significance in the life of the Church) is deliberately brief, these very important points are not further developed.

		While Sacrosanctum Concilium focuses on the Christological aspect of the liturgy, the new Catechism meditates at length on the role of the Father and of the Holy Spirit as well.
		In the Church’s magisterium — particularly in Sacrosanctum Concilium and the Catechism of the Catholic Church — the liturgical subject is clearly delineated from a theological point of view, and the question of participation at its most profound theological level is wonderfully illustrated.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium does not elaborate the more profound understanding of participation, not in the external, visible sense, but in the sacramental, internal and invisible dimension.

		In the early 1960s when Sacrosanctum Concilium was being drafted by the venerable Council Fathers, the Church’s patrimony of sacred architecture was rich by any standard.

		Although Sacrosanctum Concilium does not directly advocate the reform of church architecture per se, the document briefly addresses the subject of sacred art and furnishings.

		With the passing of time, in the light of the fruits that it has brought, one sees ever more clearly the importance of the "Sacrosanctum Concilium." In it are luminously delineated the principles that are the foundation of the liturgical praxis of the Church, and they inspire healthy renewal in the course of time.
		From the perspective of "Sacrosanctum Concilium," the liturgical life of the Church assumes a cosmic and universal breadth, marking in a profound way man's time and space.
		"Sacrosanctum Concilium" interprets this urgency prophetically, stimulating the Christian community to intensify the life of prayer not only through the Liturgy, but also through "pious exercises," so long as they are in harmony with the Liturgy, almost as if they derived from it and lead to it.

	Some Highlights of the Liturgical Renewal Initiated by Sacrosanctum Concilium
		The crucial role of Sacrosanctum Concilium becomes clearer when we consider that a very close and organic bond does exist between sound liturgical renewal and the renewal of the whole life of the Church.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium insisted that the table of God's word is to be made more abundantly available to the people of God in the liturgy.
		That is why Sacrosanctum Concilium already declared that the regulation of the sacred liturgy depends solely on the authority of the Church, that is, on the Apostolic See and, as laws may determine, on the Bishops and the Bishops' Conference.

		Among these might be mentioned the introduction of the vernacular, the opening up of the treasury of the Sacred Scriptures, increased participation in the liturgy and the enrichment of the process of Christian initiation.
		However, the Forum concluded that the pre-conciliar liturgical movement as well as the manifest intentions of Sacrosanctum Concilium have in large part been frustrated by powerful contrary forces, which could be described as bureaucratic, Philistine and secularist.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium gave pride of place to Gregorian chant (Section 116), yet in many places this "sung theology" of the Roman liturgy has disappeared without trace.

		The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, was one of two documents issued on the same day, December 4, 1963, the first two documents issued by the Second Vatican Council.
		Sacrosanctum Concilium is one of the most important documents of the Council, one that has been the least understood and, I believe, has wrought the most havoc — not by having been fulfilled — but by having been ignored or misinterpreted.
		In the same paragraph of Sacrosanctum Concilium, no. 14, the Council continues: “In the restoration and promotion of the sacred liturgy, this full and active participation by all the people is the aim to be considered before all else.” So the Council itself defines the primary aim of liturgical renewal: full, conscious and active participation.

		The occasion was marked in Rome with a daylong conference sponsored by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
		Augé said the reception of Sacrosanctum concilium in Europe was conditioned to some extent by “minority groups,” such as the pro-Latin Mass movement of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.
		In fact, Augé argued, the liturgical reforms of the council were not “improvised,” but “the fruit of more than 100 years of history.” He said the future lies in greater inculturation, meaning adaptation to local realities (including in Europe), and in “formation,” meaning education about the significance of the renewed rites.

		A task always to be attended to is the theological, liturgical and spiritual formation of extraordinary ministers of the Holy Eucharist, of catechists, of other pastoral agents and of the lay faithful in general.

	Anglican Theological Review: Handbook for Liturgical Studies II: Fundamental Liturgy
		In Sacrosanctum concilium the second Vatican Council created the possibility of theological reflection in the reform of the liturgy since the Roman Catholic Church had always understood the insights of the liturgical movement at a theological level.
		The result of starting with epistemology is that inevitably one is led to the anthropological turn through noting the sanctifying power of Incarnation (the essay of Valenziano, "Liturgy and anthropology: the meaning of the question and the method for answering it," is a brave attempt to fit anthropology into liturgical science at a technical level).
		Yet the result both of this, and of the dependence upon Sacrosanctum concilium, is that there is in general no move beyond the "bestowal" model of Christology so central to neoThomism.

		The Second Vatican Council followed up this approach in chapter VI of the Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium on the Sacred Liturgy, in which the ecclesial role of sacred music is clearly defined: “The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art.
		The text of the Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium in which it is declared that the Church “approves of all forms of true art which have the requisite qualities, and admits them into divine worship”7, finds satisfactory criteria for application in nn.
		In this way, through the unanimous agreement of pastors of souls, musicians and faithful, it will be possible to achieve what the Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium describes as the true “purpose of sacred music”, that is, “the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful”44.

		Monsignor Elliott: The council document was the mandate for post-conciliar liturgical reform and most of the reforms are good, especially better celebrations of the sacraments, concelebration, the reform of the Divine Office and the wider use of the vernacular.
		The opening doctrinal section of "Sacrosanctum Concilium" is brief, because it presupposes "Mediator Dei." Then, after the council, the "changes" were brought in an authoritarian way, hastily, often without respect for popular piety and what people valued.
		I also believe that some changes to the Mass went beyond what the council Fathers envisaged in "Sacrosanctum Concilium," and this is the very area where we still encounter problems.
