SOME LITURGICAL "TENDENCIES" CAUSE WORRY JAMES C. O'NEILL reports from VATICAN CITY.
POPE PAUL VI has voiced his "bitterness" over tendencies within the Church today which threaten liturgical renewal. Receiving members attending the plenary session of the Consilium, the commission for the Implementation of the Ecumenical Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the Pope cited three points which gave rise to his bitterness.
