I had forgotten what he was like.

Since he had been in the Roman Curia for so long but seemed to have stayed away from controversy during the pontificate of Benedict XVI. Or am I incorrect in this impression? Kasper Proposes Women Deacons

I am looking forward to Fr. Taft's forthcoming essay on eucharistic prayers and this point of controversy, and hope it will be available online, but it seems unlikely as I do not see it on the website. (I think he meant the 2013 meeting and not the 2014 meeting. It should be included in the proceedings for the annual meeting?) Fr. Taft recently gave the keynote address to a conference on the liturgy in the Orthodox Church at Hellenic College Holy Cross:

Orthodox Liturgy: Lessons from the Past, Contemporary Trends and Opportunities
March 15-16, 2013
Hellenic College Holy Cross, Brookline, MA

As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, Hellenic College Holy Cross will be hosting an international conference on the state of liturgy and liturgical renewal in the Orthodox Church. The keynote speaker will be the Rt. Rev. Dr. Robert Taft, world-renowned liturgist and scholar. For more information, see the conference flyer. Please pre-register for the conference here.

Supposedly archived video of the conference will become available.
