Yes, from what the Cardinal writes concerning La concélébration eucharistique. Du symbole à la réalité there are points with which we who are loyal to the traditional Latin Mass would disagree with the author, Msgr. Guillaume Derville. Nevertheless, it is refreshing to see the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments come out and identify abuses that have been routinely indulged in since Vatican II. Here are two salient points the Cardinal makes in his Presentation:
“The expression ‘Paschal mystery’ synthesizes the essential nucleus of the whole process of the Redemption; it is the culmination of Christ’s work. The liturgy in turn contains, as something of its own, this ‘work’ of Christ, because through it the work of our Redemption is actualized. This is why the liturgy, as a part of the Paschal mystery, is ‘a sublime expression of God’s glory and, in a certain sense, a glimpse of heaven on earth. The memorial of Jesus’ redemptive sacrifice contains something of that beauty which Peter, James and John beheld when the Master, making his way to Jerusalem, was transfigured before their eyes (cf. Mk 9:2). Beauty, then, is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation. These considerations should make us realize the care which is needed, if the liturgical action is to reflect its innate splendour.’”
“[C]oncelebration, in the genuine tradition of the Church, whether eastern or western, is an extraordinary, solemn and public rite, normally presided over by the Bishop or his delegate, surrounded by his presbyterium and by the entire community of the faithful. . . .”
