Assignment Your paper will be on the Vatican document Sacrosanctum Concilium – the “Constitution on Sacred Liturgy”. Your only sources for this paper may be the “Constitution on Sacred Liturgy” and The Spirit of the Liturgy by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Please answer the following questions in your own words. An excess of quotations from the document and a lack of personal analysis will result in a reduction of grade for the project: What were the intentions/goals of the Second Vatican Council in writing Sacrosanctum Concilium? *What is meant by “active participation”? What does this tell us about the way Catholics should pray? *What do you believe were the intentions of the Council Fathers in regard to the reform of the liturgy? How and why was the rite of the Mass revised? What does Sacrosanctum Concilium intend with regard to Latin and the vernacular? What does Sacrosanctum Concilium prescribe with regard to the other sacraments? Are there any recommendations of the Council that have yet to be implemented? If there are, would the Church benefit from implementing them now? *After reading Sacrosanctum Concilium, do you think Vatican II sought a restoration or reformation of sacred liturgy? *As discussed in Part Four of The Spirit of the Liturgy, what is Ratzinger’s view of the liturgical changes of the Second Vatican Council (of which he was a part)? What does he say about “active participation”?
