Redemptionis Sacramentum

The long-awaited Instruction from the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, dated March 25, was promulgated today.

And today is when we can read it: isn't the Internet grand?

I'm telling you, Faithful Reader, were such immediate communication available during Vatican II, we wouldn't be in nearly the mess we're in: back then, information about the Council and its teachings reached the general public — even the general Catholic public — almost entirely through mainstream media and ecclesiastical professionals, many of whom must have had intentions other than merely conveying what the Council taught.

P.S. I link to the EWTN version because I think it is much easier to read than the one at the Vatican website.
