Negative Positive
Title: Wonderful
Review: In this wonderful little book, Msgr. Elliott fields a wide variety of questions concerning everything from sacred vessels to the location of baptismal fonts, and not just the usual "standing during the Consecration" query. Moreover, he includes one of the best explanations of the higly-charged "ad orientem" question, i.e., the priest-celebrant faces liturgical east with the people instead of facing them across the altar, that I've seen. Regarding a mild critique by another reviewer about Msgr. Elliott's bias, I did not find his occasional dispensing of advice when there is the liturgical equivalent of a "jump ball" to be off-putting at all. He clearly labels what is mandated by the norms and what falls outside of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
