Summary/Abstract: This study reflects on the newest discussion concerning the term reform of reform after the speech of Cardinal Robert Sarah at the conference Sacra Liturgia in London on 5 July 2016. It compares this lecture to the lecture during the Cologne Liturgy Days (29 March to 1 April 2017) called "Source of the Future: Ten years of motu proprio 'Summorum Pontificum' of Benedict XVI". For an understanding of the pastoral distinction between the two forms or the Roman rite there is a detailed pastoral-theological analysis of motu proprio Summorum Pontificum by Benedict XVI (2007). The introduction of the extraordinary form of the Latin rite is determined by three criteria: liturgical reform of the council is not and must not be questioned; there must not be any legitimization of division of the Church; active participation (participatio actuosa) of all believers in the liturgy must be preserved. The end of this study presents the pastoral distinction of four basic types of the personal shift towards Catholic traditionalism developed after publication of motu proprio Summorum Pontificum and it lists certain pastoral recommendations for overcoming tension following the application of the two forms of the Roman rite in the Czech Lands.
