The Ascension and the Eternal Liturgy

An excerpt from The Wellspring of Worship by Fr. Jean Corbon.

Something on Fr. Jean and his contribution to the Catechism of the Catholic Church: The Holy Spirit and the Church in the Liturgy by Cassian Folsom

I wonder though, if Fr. Bouyer would agree with this, or Fr. Corbon; or is Fr. Cassian makes this assertion because of a commitment to the scholastic doctrine of appropriations?
Each person of the Most Holy Trinity pours himself out upon the Church in a kenosis of self-giving. The Church, in her celebration of the liturgy, responds in kind; by blessing the Father, by clinging to Christ as the Bride clings to her Bridegroom and as the Body is joined to its Head, and by cooperating with the Holy Spirit in a joint activity of preparation, remembrance, transfiguration and communion. Because we are flesh and blood, God in his mercy has so ordered the economy of our salvation that this divine communion with him should take place not in the realm of subjective fancy, but in the objective celebration of the divine mysteries. In the liturgy, the "Yes" of God to man encounters the "Yes" of man to God: the divine initiative meets Marian consent.

From what I've read of Fr. Bouyer's trinitarian theology, I don't think he would agree.

About that Canonization of John XXIII: Just a Minute, Now by Christopher A. Ferrara

Mr. Ferrera quotes Cardinal Amato:

For such a canonization, according to the teaching of Benedict XIV, three elements are required: an ancient tradition of devotion, the constant and common attestation of trustworthy historians on the virtues or martyrdom, and the uninterrupted fame of miracle.

If these conditions are satisfied—again according to the teaching of pope Prospero Lambertini [Benedict XIV]—the supreme pontiff, by his authority, can proceed with the “canonization equivalent”… without any definitive formal sentence, without any preliminary juridical process, without having carried out the usual ceremonies.

This would certainly be a better justification for canonizing someone; but is infallibility involved if the pope does not have the authority on his own to declare someone a saint for the Church Universal but only for his patriarchate? Rather, he could only recognizing someone to be a saint for the Church Universal if such a cult existed universally? And do patriarchs of particular churches participate in the charism of infallibility when they declare someone to be a saint for their church?
