Teologiczne założenia odnowy i reformy liturgicznej II Soboru Watykańskiego
Theological Foundation of Liturgical Renewal and Reform of the Second Vatican Council

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the issues of renewal and reform of the liturgy after the Second Vatican Council, to show its necessity and the deepest essence, which are forgotten now with the promotion of a return to the Tridentine liturgy (in extraordinary form). The study has been divided into two parts. The first briefly outlined the historical context, marking the four most important moments: the liturgical movement, the Liturgical Commission of Pius XII, the conciliar Constitution on the holy liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium and the Council for the implementation of the provisions of the Conciliar Constitution on the liturgy. The second part presents the basic theological assumptions of post-conciliar liturgical renewal. They have been focused around the four most important issues in response to the following questions: 1. What is the liturgy in its innermost being, that is what is celebrated? 2. Who celebrates the liturgy? 3. What is the purpose of the liturgy? and 4. How should the Church celebrate the liturgy?
