Current developments at Rome have renewed an interest in matters liturgical. I have chosen a few links which give information on different viewpoints.

Mentioned before in Faith Online, “Catholic Liturgical Library” is an excellent collection of texts and documents for rites, rubrics and liturgical law. The intention is to provide Catholics with accurate liturgical information.

The Benedictine website has a collection of links to websites dealing with the calendar, Eastern liturgy, music and other general websites related to liturgy.

"Rooted in the teaching and practice of the Roman Catholic Church, expressed in the documents and decrees of the Second Vatican Council, the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy at the University of Notre Dame seeks to support and enrich the liturgical life of the Church through scholarly research and pastoral education."

"The Adoremus Bulletin, a liturgical journal published by Adoremus: Society for the Renewal of the Sacred Liturgy, is dedicated to the authentic renewal of the Sacred liturgy according to the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. The Adoremus Bulletin provides documentation, information, news and commentary on a wide variety of subjects involving Catholic worship."

In 1996 three Catholic composers and musicians decided they'd join together to publish and promote new church music, principally for the Catholic liturgy.

The aim is to keep the music accessible to amateurs as well as professionals

"Ministry & Liturgy is a primary resource for liturgists and pastoral ministers. It is a professional magazine for members of the parish ministry team. It is dedicated to exploring the connection between liturgy and life, unpacking the treasures of the Roman liturgy, and helping ministers use the visual, musical, lively, poetic, and environmental arts to shape liturgies to their local culture." This print publication offers some articles online.
