What sort of spirituality?
While the author claims that such changes will be beneficial to the people (and there are spiritual benefits to the people for a reverent celebration of the Divine Liturgy), the article is mostly centered on the clerics. There is very little about fostering an authentic liturgical spirituality in the Christian faithful in general.

Laudable, But Does the Need for the CDF Speak Against Certain Claims Regarding the Papacy?
Vatican Insider: Müller suggests new task for Congregation for Doctrine of Faith
In an interview with French Catholic newspaper La Croix, the German cardinal stated: “The arrival of a theologian like Benedict XVI in the Chair of St. Peter was no doubt an exception. But John XXIII was not a professional theologian. Pope Francis is also more pastoral and our mission at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is to provide the theological structure of a pontificate.” So according to Müller’s statement, the former Holy Office must “theologically structure” Pope Francis’ pontificate. And this is probably the reason why the Prefect gives public statements on such a frequent basis, like never before.
