Summary/Abstract: The official and unofficial files of the Second Vatican Council still contain elements that are yet to be investigated and analysed in detail. These comprise records of statements made by Church leaders participating in the Council. One of them is Enrico Cardinal Dante, a long-standing Master of Papal Ceremonies, liturgist, theoretician and practitioner. This article is an attempt to describe his participation in conciliar discussions on the liturgical reform. Investigation – based on collections of the archives of the Office of Papal Liturgical Celebrations and well-known and documented publications reporting conciliar events in detail – following the biography of the Italian Church leader, they detail his statements about issues such as Holy Communion under both kinds, concelebration, reform of the Holy Week and others. His statements and discussions demonstrate a moderate, conservative approach to the liturgical reform.
