His Liturgical Vision
Regarding the liturgical renewal, he had reservations on merely restoring the ancient traditions. Althouth he was in favour of restoration, he objected to restoring everything in toto irrespective of the contemporary needs and aspirations of the people of God. He informed the Council Fathers that his reservations were based on the principle of the spiritual growth of the faithful and their pastoral exigencies. (Cf. Ernakulam Missam LII.4 (April 1983)
