Latin is coming! Latin is coming!
. . . Look for it soon, says Benedict 14’s man for liturgy:
[N]owhere in the [Vatican 2] conciliar decree [on worship] does it say that the priest must face the assembly, nor that the use of Latin is forbidden! If the use of the common tongue is permitted, notably in the liturgy of the Word, the decree is very clear that the use of the Latin language should be maintained in the Latin rite. We are waiting for the pope to give us his guidelines on these subjects.
This is Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith, said to have been “close to Joseph Ratzinger [now B-14] for years [and] of the same mind liturgically,” secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship since December.
