Trent and its Liturgical Reform: The Papacy in Charge of Liturgical Renewal (Part IV)

In the previous entry of this series, I have offered an overview of the discussions on the sacred liturgy at the Council of Trent, especially during its third and last period from January 1562 to December 1563. There was a consensus among the council fathers that a revision of liturgical books was needed, but it was felt that the conciliar assembly would not be able to carry out this work. Hence, the task was entrusted to the pope and his curia.
