Reader Reviews
Archbishop Marini has given the world a wonderful resource in this book. He takes the reader behind the scenes--back to Vatican Council II and its original vision, and into the committee meetings that eventually resulted in the reformed liturgy. After forty years even those of us who lived through the Council and the era of reform that followed have forgotten the details and sequence of the reform. Too often those who were born after the reform think that the reforms happened with the turn of a switch. Archbishop Marini was privy to all of that history from the inside and in this book he takes the reader back into the meeting rooms where the drama unfolded. For anyone interested in liturgical history this is essential reading, but for any person interested in how the Roman Catholic Church functions this will provide valuable insight.
