Renew your faith in Eucharist

Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan in the "Herald of Hope" column in our Catholic Herald on Pope Benedict's recent Sacramentum Caritatis.
Does he encourage the use of some Latin and Gregorian chant? Yes. Does he remind us that the Mass is not ours to alter, but that careful and reverent attention to liturgical guidelines is expected? Yes.

Yes, because these were called for in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium), see 36, 116, and 22?
But he also endorses fully the celebration of the Mass as renewed by the council, which, by the way, he attended.

With that "but" he makes it sound as if Pope Benedict favors these despite the Council.
