I'm actually interested in this piece: "Twentieth-Century Reform and the Transition from a “Parallel” to a “Sequential” Liturgical Model: Implications for the Inherited Choral Repertoire and Future Liturgical Compositions" by Jared Ostermann

Then there's "A Charter for the New Liturgical Movement" by Peter Kwasniewski

Social Teaching: "In other words, it rejects both Adam Smith and Karl Marx; both individualism and collectivism. In explaining this to the class, it became clear that this was, in effect, to reject the ideals of the left, right and center. The class ended with no one in the room having any idea what the Church thought a just regime would look like."

Still a work in progress... though it does assume the work of the medieval scholastics but it has not critically reappropriated it.
