Guys, you are going to want to read this. I promise.https://t.co/ZtYuR0xH6T
Getting the pope involed was the wrong thing to do; his opinion about liturgical uniformity as a means to unity is irrelevant to other jurisdictions, and the Syro-Malabar Christians should have settled this on their own, either with a compromise or with ecclesial sanction, if they couldn't get unanimity on ad orientem worship.

The Etymology of Auctoritas?
𝘈𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘴 derives from augere, “to make grow”. A shared etymological origin ties it to the words Augustus (he who makes grow), auxilium (help provided by a higher power), augurium (also a word of religious origin: a vow made to obtain divine cooperation in growth).

The fact is that Vatican II's Constitution on the Liturgy repeatedly proposes an «instauratio» of the liturgy (e.g. nos. 1, 14, 21, 23-24, 33, 43, 87-90): a "renewed" liturgy, not a "new liturgy"! https://t.co/ufAOvAwLZu pic.twitter.com/TLJATDeYpD
