Indianapolis Archbishop responds to liturgical document

In a statement issued Friday, Indianapolis Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein said he was asking priests, liturgy committees and the Archdiocese’s Office of Worship to study the instruction for a few months and make any necessary changes to worship.

“I would be astonished to find that some of the abuses are actually happening in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis,” Buechlein said. The archdiocese ministers to 231,000 Catholics in 39 counties in central and southern Indiana.
