Peter Kwasniewski has a long and detailed article on the New Liturgical Movement about changes that have been made to the Maronite liturgy under Latin, and more seriously, ‘reform’- minded influence, often very subjectively. It is not a little depressing, if sadly familiar, to read of the destruction of very ancient liturgical practices for whatever reason. For those of us from the Latin tradition who know little of the traditions of Byzantium, of Antioch and of Syria it is also a valuable introduction to that venerable heritage.
