I just spent a week at a conference with liturgy people in which Cardinal Arinze among others spoke. It is always interesting being among liturgists and hearing their take on issues. My heart does go out to them because they do do the best they can but are under so much pressure from all sides.

One thing that I'll do some writing about later is the issue of Vatican II. To a person, they all seek to implement the reforms of Vatican II, but IMO, like other groups they remain parochial in their approach. What I mean is that liturgists focus on sacrosanctum concilium almost to the exclusion of other documents, just like scripture scholars focus on Dei Verbum, sytematic theologians on Lumen Gentium, and moral theologians on Gaudium et Spes,
