More from Abp. Kondrusiewicz

In an interview with John L. Allen, Jr. of the NCR(eporter), the archbishop expands on his synodal statement (mentioned earlier on this site):

Generally, we feel that failure to preserve the norms and to be accurate in the liturgical rites is one of many reasons that causes the faith of the people to decline. If there is no piety, if there is no accuracy, if the priest is doing I don't know what … if the priest doesn't seem to take the Mass seriously, why should the people?
