Pope Leo concluded his catechetical series on Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, during his general audience at the Vatican. He discussed the topic of liturgical reform and acknowledged that liturgical abuses have occurred and still occur in parts of the Church today. But such abuses are no reason to reject the Council's promotion of reform. Instead, he said a correct understanding of the Council would reject those abuses and that responsibility falls on the clergy. EWTN News Correspondent Brian Schumacher reports.
