Memoir of Betrayal
A Wider View of Vatican II: Memories and Analysis of a Council Consultor
by Boniface Luykx, edited by Julie Rogers
A time capsule. That’s what we have here: a time capsule from the early days of “the reform of the reform” of the Vatican II liturgy. And we open it after a hiatus under Pope Francis, who put this new reform on hold. Will Pope Leo encourage the reform to continue? We shall have to wait and see. But perhaps this book will have some influence on the issue.
