For Francis the Centrality of Liturgy Is "Harmful”
His answer was a hodgepodge of his usual negativist mantras. In an abstract way, he condemned a "taking refuge in safety zones, such as the habitual repetition of things one always does, or in the seductive calls of an intimist spirituality, or even in a misunderstood sense of the centrality of the liturgy.”
He psychologised that these are "temptations disguised as fidelity to tradition, but often, rather than responses to the Spirit, they are responses to personal dissatisfaction."
Instead of ranting and generalising, Francis should have shown where and how a method of evangelisation which that avoids these alleged errors bears concrete fruit. Francis empty liturgies and empty general audiences cannot serve as an example.
