Archimandrite Boniface LuykxArchimandrite Boniface Luykx (1915-2004) was a Norbertine monk, priest, professor, missionary, abbot, and liturgical scholar. From 1959 to 1975 he served the Second Vatican Council as a liturgical Consultor and peritus, from the Preparatory Commissio to the Consilium led by Fr. Annibale Bugnini. As one of the authors of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium), after the Council he struggled for years against rebellious Consilium experts' distortions and misinterpretations of the Constitution's guidance for liturgical renewal. Long attracted to the Christian East, Abbot Boniface founded monasteries in Africa and the United States in the ancient Eastern tradition while remaining in union with Rome; and for these labors he was granted the honorary title of Archimandrite. He composed this memoir and analysis in 1995-97 and was called to his eternal reward on Easter Sunday in 2004. Read More Read Less
