JottingsPope Benedict's Motu Proprio, published today, will probably have a mixed reception. There is nothing like liturgy for revealing the tiger in the tamest monastic mouse. None of us here has any difficulty in praying the Mass whatever form it is given, and that, I have come to realise, is a great freedom. We all have our personal preferences, even prejudices; but whatever the Church has approved, the community reverently and gratefully accepts. Today's prayer podcast is a reminder that we must look beyond the accidentals, so to say, and embrace the love at the heart of all.
