The long-rumored transfer of Archbishop Ranjith has been formally announced. He will be succeeded by American Archbishop-elect Joseph Augustine DiNoia. Is this a really a defeat for traditionalists? Time will tell, but signs seem to indicate the opposite. For example:
* It is thought that Archbishop Ranjith may now be in line for a red hat, possibly as early as next year
* Archbishop-elect Joseph Augustine DiNoia has been quoted as saying: "The great danger is when the focus [of the liturgy] is on the celebrating community [instead of on God]" and "I think the liturgy should give us a sense of the heavenly liturgy; it's about God, not us"
Now that doesn't sound like a defeat for traditionalists, does it? [6/16]
