Rubbing my eyes

Thanks to a tip-off on the New Liturgical Movement, I discovered these recent words of Cardinal Noe:

Ora bisogna recuperare, e in fretta, il senso del sacro nell’ars celebrandi, prima che il fumo di Satana pervada completamente tutta la Chiesa. Grazie a Dio, abbiamo Papa Benedetto XVI: la sua Messa e il suo stile liturgico sono un esempio di correttezza e dignità”.

Now we must rediscover, and quickly, the sense of the sacred in the ars celebrandi before the smoke of Satan utterly pervades the whole Church. Thanks be to God, we have Pope Benedict: His Mass and his liturgical style are an example of correctness and dignity. (my translation).

Can this really be the same Cardinal Noe who undertook the reordering of all the side altars in St Peter's, who had the Altar of the Chair smashed up, who would remove the cruets from the altars of priests whom he deemed to be attempting to celebrate the Traditional Mass……?

Is this another Vicar of Bray, or a real conversion? We must pray that it is the latter. The rest of the article repays reading, if you can read Italian. Find it here.
