Pod Tract XXI : Beyond the Worship Wars -What the Church Fathers can offer as a Vision for Liturgy Today!

Bishop Kevin Donlon

For much of the liturgical discussion of the past century has been conducted within strangely narrow horizons. One side asks whether worship should be traditional or contemporary. Another asks whether it should be formal or informal. Some debate ceremonial complexity while others debate accessibility. Some concern themselves with relevance, others with aesthetics. But these arguments often assume a framework that would have been entirely foreign to the Fathers of the Church. In this podcast we seek to recover  that which has been lost in the hopes of renewing the liturgical life of the church.
