Boniface Luykx’s Critique of the Novus Ordo as Defective Ritual (Part 2 of 2)

Tradition and Sanity

Boniface Luykx was not a man to mince words. He writes, of the liturgical reform: "Behind these revolutionary exaggerations were hidden three typically Western but false principles: (1) the concept (à la Bugnini) of the superiority and normative value of modern Western man and his culture for all other cultures; (2) the inevitable and tyrannical law of constant change that some theologians applied to the liturgy, Church teaching, exegesis, and theology; and (3) the primacy of the horizontal."
