Why could the post-conciliar reform not make even the following steps within the process of true maturation?
1) Change the position of the priest so that he may unite with the people and celebrate the liturgy of the Eucharist facing the tabernacle – facing God – as it is in our Byzantine liturgy or as it used to be in the old Roman liturgy for whole centuries till 1970.
2) Why could in the front centre of the church not be a space separated by a veil, which would be reserved for the Eucharistic Christ and where only the priest could enter?
This is only a supplementation to the reform of 1970 in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. These supplements are a mere continuation of the development which the spiritual need of this time requires. Moreover, there is a continuity here as well as a return to the oldest sources of the Tradition concerning the temple, which traces back to Moses.
