Over at Rorate Caeli<\/a>, Fr Cipolla, pastor of the (amazing) parish St Mary in \u00a0Norwalk, CT raises a number of questions that need to be asked in this post-Vatican I [sic!] world.<\/p>\n

To me, most of the post stems down to “is papal power a limited power?” \u00a0It seems that\u00a0the current issue\u00a0that hasn’t been answered is what can the Pope do to the liturgy? \u00a0This is a question that stretches down back to Pope St Pius V and the implementation of a response to the Protestant Deformation. \u00a0With the imposition of the Roman Rite across all of Europe (for those communities that unanimously [!!!!] wished to adopt it), we saw a pope flex muscle that I don’t think had been matched, up until perhaps Pius X’s reform of the breviary or Paul VI’s Novus Ordo Missae<\/em>.<\/p>\n
