Cardinal Cupich said the pope is making clear that Vatican II documents are authoritative and permanent.

This latest document may not be a bombshell but it is certainly a significant change in direction with regard to who has responsibility for liturgical translations.

These changes rebalance the relationship between the Vatican and local bishops' conferences in favor of greater local control.

Did Pope Francis snub Latin-Mass goers? Or is he taking their concerns seriously? 

With his speech last week, Pope Francis has definitively and unequivocally put his weight behind a liturgical movement.

The reform of the liturgy introduced by Vatican II is here to stay.
