Man ist es ein bisschen leid, die vielen agendaverzerrten Bilanzen zum motu proprio Summorum Pontificum im deutschsprachigen Bereich zu lesen.

Desto wohltuender hier der Bericht eines afrikanischen Bischofs über seine Erfahrungen:

>>My conviction that these two forms can coexist peacefully and enrich each other is beyond doubt and long held. In my humble opinion, the two forms have no problem (sc. with each other). The conflicts come from our sick and intoxicated hearts or our ideologies arising from the narrowness of our minds and our formation courses which are too set in their ways.<< [Gute Beobachtung!]

>>Personally, I must profess that the celebration in the old form is an opportunity for my young clergy and the entire diocese. It allows one to value more highly the altar (prayer at the foot of the altar), the sacred silence, the secrets, the multiple signs of the cross and genuflections and even the fact that we are all turned towards the Cross (ad orientem position). In short, the Tridentine rite offers us an opportunity to better understand and better appreciate the rite of Paul VI.<<

>>Obviously the more one emphasizes the "ars celebrandi", the more both forms influence each other positively. When the rubrics are internalised, the liturgy touches the faithful with its beauty and depth; and one no longer needs to quarrel about the mystery, the sacred, adoration, the majesty of God and active participation. It goes without saying. In addition, the Roman Canon and the liturgical gestures in the old rite are closer to our African religiosity and sensibility. I speak only for my diocese.<<

So weit so gut. Bleibt manchen Diözesen und Pfarreien in D/A/CH mehr Mut zu afrikanischer Religiösität und Spiritualität zu wünschen (die sich also offenbar nicht im Absingen von Kumba Ya während der Hl. Messe erschöpfen muss).
