Liturgical Referee

You might recall that Milwaukee's Auxiliary Bishop Richard Sklba has noted
...our problem, however, at least in my experience, is the wide diversity in current practice from one parish to another.

and called people in the pew noting the same thing The ‘heresy’ of rubricism.

Jeff Miller at The Curt Jester resolves the conflict with a New liturgical position.
The recently created position of Liturgical Referee has been instituted to help to bring uniformity to the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Liturgical Referees will travel around the world randomly attending Masses. Liturgical Referees will stand, mostly quietly, to the side of the sanctuary during Mass and call out signals if he observes any liturgical penalties according to the GIRM and other liturgical documents. Only in the case of penalties that would make the Mass itself invalid will the Liturgical Referee blow his whistle and when necessary call for any replays to correct any mistake made. Penalty markers may be thrown during the Mass to alert the celebrant to any problems that might need immediate correction.
