The closed-door meeting Thursday, organized by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, attracted cardinals, bishops and experts from around the world who analyzed liturgical reform, especially during John Paul II’s pontificate.
Cardinal Francis Arinze, prefect of the congregation, explained that with the event the Holy See hoped to «call attention to the objectives that still remain to be achieved so that what ‘Sacrosanctum Concilium’ taught and desired will be fully realized,» a statement explained.
«This commitment calls for relaunching formation at all levels,» the statement added. «The horizon is that of the great challenges of the new evangelization and of the inculturation of the faith.»
