Random Quote

Father Richard John Neuhaus once said, reflecting on his experience of a liturgical week held in Washington, D.C., after the Second Vatican Council, that he imagined the voices of the pre-conciliar Liturgical Movement lamenting: “That is not what we meant. That is not what we meant at all.”

— Father Richard John Neuhaus was a Roman Catholic priest
