Summary
In Italy, on February 11, 2013, a new liturgical renewal in the Catholic Church was initiated under the guidance of Pope Benedict XVI. This initiative aimed to restore practices that had been abandoned since AD 408. Luigi Casalini, a prominent figure, wrote an article criticizing this move as part of an “incubus.” The document references the decree “Multa renascentur quae iam cecidere” issued in 2008 by Pope Benedict XVI, which called for restoring certain liturgical practices that had fallen into disuse. Casalini argued that this was a departure from traditional Church practices and accused it of being part of a broader attempt to modernize Catholic worship without fully understanding the historical context. The article does not contain any additional information or specific individuals beyond those mentioned, focusing solely on the initiative’s timing, Pope Benedict XVI’s role, and Casalini’s critique.
