The lecture drew upon the work of Fr. Jonathan Robinson of the Toronto Oratory -- amongst others -- and argued that the root cause of defects in the liturgical reform, both shortly before and after the Council, was a false anthropology rooted in the Enlightenment which exaggerated rationality, particularly through verbal instruction, while neglecting the immense role played by the senses, the symbolic imagination, and memory, as well as the appetitive side of human nature.
We are pleased to report that this lecture is now available as a podcast off the website of the Monastero San Benedetto:
