**Of particular note, Bishop Donald Trautman of Erie is closing out his term at the helm of the Bishops’ Committee for the Liturgy; as of Thursday, the body transforms into the committee for Divine Worship, with its (yet to be announced) new membership said to be an “all-star” lineup.
Trautman will be succeeded by Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson, who’s spent the past year transitioning in as chair-elect. A Scripturalist by training, Serratelli is also the US bishops’ representative to ICEL, the body overseeing English-language liturgical translations.**
Good-bye Trautman. Not to sure on Serratelli, but I have heard good rumors.
Any feedback on him anyone?
Serratelli’s been making some waves in NJ with his strong statements as I remember—for the good. I think a letter on sacred music, and a letter on communion for pro-aborts.
I can’t remember the context now, but his name is my mind as one of the good guys.
