The papal liturgist has said that Catholics should "never fight" over liturgy. Speaking at a conference of liturgists and musicians, Mgr Guido Marini, the papal master of liturgical ceremonies, told choir members, directors and priests that when Catholics fight over liturgy, "We distort the very nature" of the Mass, in which we should seek to be "one body before the Lord."
Mgr Marini was speaking at a conference opening a three-day jubilee for choirs. Hundreds of people involved in providing music for the liturgical celebrations in Italian dioceses and parishes - such as singers, organists and musicians - attended, as did directors of diocesan liturgy offices and schools of sacred music.
