Cardinal Arinze on the liturgical norms for the NeoCatechumenal Way:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Q: How did this letter come about? <\/p>\n

Cardinal Arinze: It stemmed from the results of this congregation’s examination of the way in which the Neocatechumenal Way has celebrated holy Mass for many years, as, following the approval of the statutes by the Pontifical Council for the Laity — for a five-year period — the rest of the Vatican dicasteries had to effect the approvals in their domain. Our congregation’s domain is the liturgy. <\/p>\n

To carry out this examination, we created a mixed commission of persons named by the Neocatechumenal Way and by our congregation. In the discussions, many practices emerged which they carry out during the Mass. They were examined and it was seen that many of them were not done according to the approved books. <\/p>\n

This is the background. Everything has been examined in many sessions by the mixed commission for a period of two years or more. And a discussion also took place among seven cardinals of the Roman Curia at the request of the Holy Father, who examined everything. Therefore, this letter is the conclusion of this whole process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now. What about the NeoWestern Way? Can we get some Cardinals to examine that<\/em>? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
