Louis Bouyer, one of the 20th century’s leading theologians and liturgists, reflects on the Liturgical Movement and the Post-Conciliar Missal. Louis Bouyer was part of the Liturgical Movement from the very beginning of his reception into the Catholic Church in the 1940s. He was then known as a reformer with ideas of his own – until his death in 2004.
Dr. John Pepino, PhD, who originally hails from the South of France, is a Professor of Latin, Greek, and Patristics. He teaches at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in the USA.
Dr. Pepino’s paper on Father Louis Bouyer and the Liturgical Reform, which in addition to both English and French published material, relies heavily on Fr. Bouyer’s still-unpublished tell-all Memoirs. It seeks to outline what reforms Bouyer called for in the pre-conciliar Mass as well as what he denounced in the post-conciliar liturgy. Such an overview may provide some understanding of what motivated the reformers as well as provide a lucid assessment of the current ordinary form of the Mass by someone who collaborated in its redaction.
