In addition to the discord you mention in the aftermath of TC, this turn against “reform of the reform” strikes a discordant note against the backdrop of “synodality.” The New York Archdiocese’s memo said “no one is sure where the impetus for this is originating, but it seems to be picking up a bit of steam.” But if something is picking up steam, should not the listening Church, the synodal Church, pay heed, discern, and accompany? The approach of throwing the book (in this case the GIRM) at those in whom a desire for altar rails is bubbling up gives off a distinct air of authoritarian clericalism, no?
