Years ago, I was more interested in studying liturgy than I am now. Back then, I read books like Dom Gregory Dix's "The Shape of the Liturgy," and many other noteworthy books on the subject. I'd like to think I gained some insight on liturgical matters from all that reading. One of the things that struck me is that liturgy is of course, as the meaning of the Greek word "leitourgia" suggests, the "work of the people." It develops in an organic fashion and is passed down through generations. I believe what happened in the aftermath of Vatican II when the Vatican adopted a heavy-handed, top-down approach to imposing a new liturgy on an unsuspecting people is that a liturgical "warp" developed. Mind you, I'm in agreement with the changes that VII espoused, I just think that the immediacy of the changes were too much for some people to bear. And so a sort of rupture developed that has never fully healed. But the restorationist approach is artificial. It is inorganic and it won't stick.
