inundado por um mistério de luz que é Deus e N´Ele vi e ouvi -A ponta da lança como chama que se desprende, toca o eixo da terra, – Ela estremece: montanhas, cidades, vilas e aldeias com os seus moradores são sepultados. - O mar, os rios e as nuvens saem dos seus limites, transbordam, inundam e arrastam consigo num redemoinho, moradias e gente em número que não se pode contar , é a purificação do mundo pelo pecado em que se mergulha. - O ódio, a ambição provocam a guerra destruidora! - Depois senti no palpitar acelerado do coração e no meu espírito o eco duma voz suave que dizia: – No tempo, uma só Fé, um só Batismo, uma só Igreja, Santa, Católica, Apostólica: - Na eternidade, o Céu! 
With this in mind, Sacrosanctum Concilium called for Gregorian chant to be given pride of place in the liturgy, for the pipe organ to be held in high esteem, Latin to be preserved in the Sacred Liturgy, etc.
However, after the Second Vatican Council, when these changes were to take place, statues were smashed in churches, vestments were burned, altar rails were removed, a free standing altar was placed in the center of sanctuaries, the high altar was tossed out, the tabernacle was often moved to a side chapel, Latin was not spoken in the churches, Gregorian chant was not sung, the pipe organ was replaced by guitars that played songs of a modern, secular persuasion, religious art was replaced, removed, painted over, etc., the priest began to face the people, the people began almost entirely holding hands during the Our Father, the people would lift up their hands with the priest in the orans position, the Holy Mass was spoken of as more of a meal than a sacrifice, bells no longer rung for the consecration, women no longer covered their heads, slowly men began to cover their own heads with baseball caps and such, conferences of bishops from various countries began requesting that their country be able to use Communion on the hand and Communion received while standing as the norm, etc.
It would seem that sound tradition was not followed in implementing the reform, which was to come after the Second Vatican Council. Instead, innovations were made, tradition was rejected, doctrine became watered down, feasts of Saints were removed.
Pope Paul VI said, of this, "Da qualche fessura sia entrato il fumo di Satana nel tempio di Dio… Through some crack the smoke of Satan has entered into the temple of God."
The words from the Council were being read in light of a so-called "spirit of Vatican II." Innovations were being made after the Council in the name of this "spirit of Vatican II."
Recognizing this, Pope Benedict XVI--even as Josef Cardinal Ratzinger has been striving to create a "reform of the reform." In other words, he sees that the reform that took place after the Second Vatican Council has been seriously twisted. He sees that this has caused such an injury that people have become schismatics and left the Church because of this. He sees how Catholics now identify themselves more with a secular culture than a Catholic culture. Catholics have learned and been teaching false doctrines and watered down theology.
There has come a lack of reverence and a lack of piety towards the patrimony and tradition of the Church. People have so drastically changed the liturgy through innovations and liturgical abuse--and "creativity" that the liturgy used in most parishes looks nothing like what one might imagine the reform of the Second Vatican Council should have looked like.
Despite how the liturgy has been changed so drastically (even when the Council called for following sound tradition), we must focus on reforming this innovative reform--we must work to restore the true reform that should have taken place. We must do this by identifying the true enemy--Satan. We must do this by not giving him praise in dwelling on how great the tragedy is, but we must give praise to God in knowing that He will give the grace to reform the reform--that Satan is and will be crushed under the foot of our Blessed Lady.
We must take this reform of the reform, as the Rev. Fr. John Zuhlsdorf says, "one brick at a time." We must restore the sacred "one brick at a time." This reform of the reform is much more than a simple reformation of what was reformed--this is a restoration of what was lost in the innovations.
In order to go about this, we must first turn to the Sacraments--especially the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. We must do this in turning to our Blessed Mother--the Mother of the Eucharist.
We must also do this by looking back to tradition--by looking to what was to be even further perfected in the reform following the Second Vatican Council and by looking to how this further perfection was to be made. In other words, we must offer the Holy Mass according to the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite (the Missal of Pope Bl. John XXIII). At the same time, we must also study what true reforms should have taken place following the Second Vatican Council. We may do this simply by following what our Holy Father has written on the reform of the reform.
At the same time, we must follow his great example. He has offered both the Extraordinary Form (as a Cardinal, we know this by fact) and the Ordinary Form. He has seen how the faithful have learned to know only the Ordinary Form as it is without any reform of the reform, so he is slowly taking them step by step--"brick by brick" in any reform of the reform--restoration. He has set an example in the vestments he wears, in offering the Ordinary Form ad orientem (versus Deum), in using Gregorian Chant and the pipe organ in his liturgies, in using the venerable language of Latin, in requesting that his Communicants come to receive Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling, etc.
We must follow the example he has set if we wish to faithfully go about the reform of the reform. We must offer the Extra Ordinary Form as prescribed in Summorum Pontificum, yet we must use this in order to learn how to offer the Ordinary Form as this current form is restored and removed of all innovations.
We must carefully go about this by being sure that the faithful come to understand this. We must help the lay faithful to also be reformed in their hearts through the Extraordinary Form and the "brick by brick" restoration process in the Ordinary Form.
We must help the lay faithful to appreciate what we see in the Latin Rite--what seemed not to be understood or appreciated by many of the lay faithful prior to the Second Vatican Council--due to the lack of catechesis. Therefore, let us also catechize as we should.
Yet, once again, I would stress the point that we must turn to the Sacraments and the intercession of our Blessed Lady.
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
