From 1989: A debate about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the R.C.I.A. in the life of the Catholic Church.

The homily should be part of an active relationship between preacher and parish. None of us, speaking or listening, should stop trying to improve the experience.

Suppressing all elements of the Latin Mass would alienate Catholics who desire the reformed liturgy but also seek the rich liturgical elements of the centuries-old Tridentine celebration.

The “sense of mystery” Catholics should experience at Mass is not one prompted by Latin or by “creative” elements added to the celebration.

As pandemic restrictions have eased, most parishioners have returned to in-person Masses. But some would prefer the option for virtual services to remain.

Is there a way for Catholics to talk about the liturgy without it turning into a war?
