What are the six principles of the liturgical reforms of
Vatican II?
Answer:

1. The Liturgy as “An Exercise of the Priestly Office of Jesus Christ” (SC 7)
By means of this celebration Christ is constantly present to the Church, his beloved Bride, “who calls to
him and through him offers worship to the eternal Father” (no. 7).

2. The Liturgy as “Summit and Fount” of the Church’s Life (SC 10)
The Liturgy is thus the unifying center of all the Church’s activity.

3. Full, conscious, and active participation (SC 14)

This has been the basic motive at work in the modern liturgical renewal and the conciliar document.

4. Manifestation of the Church (SC 26)

The church’s structure or polity, its teaching or catechesis, its history, and its service to the world—
these are all important, and they all point to what the church might be.

5. “Substantial Unity,” Not “Rigid Uniformity” (SC 37)

6. “Sound Tradition” and “Legitimate Progress”
