HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION, SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUMAbstract
On December 4th the universal Church will celebrate the 45th
anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s
Liturgy Constitution Sacrosanctum concilium, which the Council
bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favour and 4
opposed. Thus the Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul
VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council.
