Lennon and Russel are joined by Doc Luke and together they dive into the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium — ang unang dokumentong na-approve ng Vatican II.

We trace the story from the Liturgical Movement bago pa ang Council, the debates inside the aula, at bakit napakahalaga ng liturgy sa pananampalatayang Katoliko. Step by step, dadaanan natin ang bawat chapter ng dokumento: mula sa theology ng liturgy, paggamit ng Latin at vernacular, actuosa participatio (full and active participation), hanggang sa Gregorian chant, sacred art, at inculturation.

Pero hindi lang puro idealism — kasama rin ang mga controversies: Archbishop Lefebvre’s later opposition, ang liturgical abuses of the 70s and 80s, at ang mga misteryosong alegasyon laban kay Archbishop Bugnini tungkol sa Freemasonry… at ang pananahimik ng Vatican tungkol dito.

Finally, we reflect on why SC still matters today: sa gitna ng debates tungkol sa liturgy, paano natin mababalanse ang “hermeneutic of continuity” ni Benedict XVI at ang mga pangangailangan ng modernong simbahan?
