The Mass as Theophany: Pope Francis Speaks on the Beauty of the Liturgy

By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 12, 2014

Among the critical assessments of the young papacy of Francis is one which claims that he is some sort of liturgical minimalist. In its more judgmental versions, it comes close to implying that he may not does not fully appreciate the beauty of the Liturgy. It is sometimes accompanied by an effort to contrast his style of presiding at Holy Mass with his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as some sort of proof of the claim.I not only reject it, it offends me.
