98. Why Liturgical Reform Should be a Catholic's First Priority (Part I)

Catholicism in the Car

This episode comprises the first part of my defense on why our communal, liturgical worship is more important than both our personal prayer life and the service to our community. We discuss Pope Benedict XVI's hermeneutic (interpretation) of continuity in regards to the liturgy, and the Second Vatican Council's document on the liturgy "Sacrosanctum Concillium," highlighting its calls for more participation by the laity, and a reintroduction of the vernacular language to the liturgy. The subject of the use of vernacular language in the liturgy will be taken up in Part II.
