Several liturgical publishers are already producing materials to "catechize" Catholics on the liturgy. Few will be free from "interpreter's bias". For this reason, it is important that fidelity to the original texts be carefully maintained."

The new liturgical norms are formally to begin on the first Sunday of Advent this year, November 27th. "Such a density of liturgical directives and action in such a short period of time is both encouraging and remarkable.
