*Chief Vatican liturgist replaced
  • Code: 
    	 		Vatican,  		 			Oct. 1, 2007 		 		 		 (CWNews.com) 		  		  -  	  	  	 		 			Pope Benedict XVI ([bio](http://www.cwnews.com/news/biosgloss/definition.cfm?bioID=12) - [news](http://www.cwnews.com/search/processor.cfm?searchfrombio=12)) has replaced Archbishop Piero Marini, the longtime director of office of papal liturgies.
    Archbishop Marini, who has coordinated papal liturgical celebrations since 1987, has become a familiar face to millions of Catholics, appearing regularly beside Pope John Paul II (bio - news) and then Pope Benedict XVI at papal ceremonies.
    Once a private secretary to Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the chief architect of the liturgical reforms following Vatican II, Archbishop Marini was also a lightning-rod for controversy because of his penchant for liturgical innovation. Since the election of Benedict XVI as Supreme Pontiff in April 2005, Vatican-watchers had speculated that Archbishop Marini would be replaced by someone more sympathetic to the new Pope’s own more traditional approach to the liturgy.
