Fr. Dwight Longenecker: THE RULES ARE THERE TO MAKE OUR JOB EASIER. That’s why, when I was asked yesterday if we were washing the feet of women my reply was, “The rubrics don’t allow that and I don’t have the authority to do otherwise.” This is the advantage of liturgy. It stands on its own and it makes its own core statement. You don’t have to elaborate and push your own agenda onto the liturgy. You just say the black and do the red. THIS IS WHY POPE BENEDICT IN THE SPIRIT OF LITURGY SAID THAT THE LITURGY WAS NOT THE PLACE OR TIME TO BE CREATIVE , WHEN YOU GET CREATIVE WITH THE LITURGY YOU ARE INEVITABLY PUSHING YOUR OWN MESSAGE AND AGENDA ONTO THE LITURGY
