The Organization of the Pre-Conciliar Cappella Papale 2009

Far from wanting to stop Tradition in 1962, we wish to consider the Second Vatican Council and the post-Conciliar magisterium in the light of this Tradition which Saint Vincent of Lérins defined as that "which has been believed everywhere, always, by all" (Commonitorium), without rupture and in a perfectly homogenous development.

In the light of all of this and of some of their troublesome consequences for the Church today, it is necessary to find out how the post-Conciliar liturgical reform did emerge and which figures or attitudes caused the present situation.

It is interesting to note that nowadays, a great many churches which use only the post-Conciliar reformed liturgy still do some form of Tenebrae service on one or more evenings of the Sacred Triduum, or even on Spy Wednesday, and do not publically celebrate any of the post-Conciliar Liturgy of the Hours at all on those same days.

That very commission was then re-constituted by Pope John XXIII in May 1960 and, later on, Father Antonelli was also part of the inner group that worked on the redaction of Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Conciliar Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy.

The immediate need seems to be that of a reform of the reformed Missal of 1969, for, quite a number of changes originating within the Post-Conciliar reform seem to have been introduced somewhat hastily and unreflectively, as Cardinal Antonelli himself repeatedly stated.

Now the person of Siri has often been one of interest, and his own efforts to effect the interpretation of the Council in the light of continuity is something that might find some renewed interest in our own day, particularly in the light of the "Benedictine" project of re-asserting this proper hermeneutic and implementation of the Conciliar decrees.
