Another Church: Francis Celebrates Rupture With Roman Liturgy
He contradicts Benedict XVI's teaching of a "hermeneutic of continuity" between the Roman Mass and the Novus Ordo and exaggerates the huge tensions around the liturgy into an ecclesiological issue, thus fatally implying that the Novus Ordo comes up with another church which is not the Church of Christ.
He suggests that it is impossible to say to recognise the validity of Vatican II "and at the same time not accept the liturgical reform [allegedly] born out of Sacrosanctum Concilium.”
Therefore, Francis feels a “duty” to affirm that the failed Novus Ordo which is presided in every church in a different form is "the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.”
Francis believes that “we cannot go back" to Roman Rite and therefore goes back to the liturgical fights of the 1960s and 1970s. However, Francis' Second Liturgical World War will die with his pontificate.
