In defense of liturgical growth and maturation, with insights from Newman, Tolkien, and other kindred spirits
Extrapolating from Tolkien's passage on trees and the Faith, I expect the Ents would then be the authentic liturgists. Who might the Ents of today be? Certainly Saruman would be the modernist.
I don't know, but I suppose if Aquinas were here, he'd have to include a new chapter in his treasure "De Ente et Essentia."
A carelessly pruned tree is a tragedy, and careless pruners should not be given shears, saws, or authority to prune trees.
A really thought-provoking discussion.
