From Breviary to Liturgy of the Hours: The Structural Reform of the Roman Office 1964-1971

This book examines the process of the structural reform of the Office, the options available to the Vatican II reformers, and the choices they made. It reveals that their insistence on adhering to the norms of the Constitution on the Liturgy resulted in a structural reform that was both radical and flawed, leaving the door open to further restructuring.
