As my late MIL would have said:

I like the cut of Marini II's jib.
Quiet, reverent common sense, without the rad/trad trashing of VCII that the squeakiest wheels wish for. (Yes, I'm going for a personal best on "methods of transportation" metaphors. How'm I doin'?)

Pope Benedict XVI has no intention of launching a liturgical "return to the past" but would like to recover some important elements that have been lost or forgotten in recent decades, the Vatican's liturgist said.
Msgr. Guido Marini, master of papal liturgical ceremonies, made the comments in an interview Jan. 19 with Vatican Radio. He was asked about fears that the pope wants to abandon the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council. "These are certainly incorrect inferences and interpretations," Msgr. Marini said.
The path of Catholic liturgy is "development in continuity," in which change never loses touch with the church's living traditions, he said.
