Hey all, interesting news article. His replacement, also surnamed Marini, has liturgical views apparently more in line with Benedict's...and frankly, with the Church. Chief Vatican liturgist replaced
Vatican, Oct. 1, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) has replaced Archbishop Piero Marini, the longtime director of office of papal liturgies.
Archbishop Marini, who has coordinated papal liturgical celebrations since 1987, has become a familiar face to millions of Catholics, appearing regularly beside Pope John Paul II (bio - news) and then Pope Benedict XVI at papal ceremonies.
Once a private secretary to Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, the chief architect of the liturgical reforms following Vatican II, Archbishop Marini was also a lightning-rod for controversy because of his penchant for liturgical innovation. Since the election of Benedict XVI as Supreme Pontiff in April 2005, Vatican-watchers had speculated that Archbishop Marini would be replaced by someone more sympathetic to the new Pope's own more traditional approach to the liturgy.
Confirming reports that had circulated early in September, Pope Benedict named another cleric with the same surname-- Father Guido Marini of the Genoa archdiocese-- to become the new master of ceremonies for papal liturgies.
The incoming chief liturgist for the Vatican, Father Guido Marini, has been serving as chancellor and chief liturgist for the Archdiocese of Genoa. In those capacities he served closely with the former archbishop-- and current Vatican Secretary of State-- Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone (bio - news).
The outgoing liturgist, Archbishop Piero Marini, has been appointed by the Pope to become the new president of the pontifical committee for International Eucharistic Congresses. In that role he replaces Cardinal Jozef Tomko, who is retiring at the age of 83.
Born in Slovakia, Cardinal Tomko was ordained as a priest of the Rome diocese in 1949. He has served for years at the Vatican in a variety of posts, including a term from 1985 to 2001 as prefect of the Congregation for Evangelization.

The Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff is a dicastery of the Roman Curia. This Office prepares whatever is necessary for liturgical and other sacred celebrations which are carried out by the Supreme Pontiff or in his name and in keeping with existing prescription of liturgical law. The director of this Office is properly called the "Master of Ceremonies," also known as the "Chief Liturgist" for Papal celebrations. Papal celebrations could be a model for diocesan liturgical celebrations but they do not necessarily affect the latter, which are dependent on the prescribed Ordo for each Rite. Liturgical celebrations by the Pope, as Supreme Pontiff, include both Eastern and Western (Latin) Rites of the Catholic Church universal.

I hope Pope Benedict celebrates a Byzantine liturgy like Pope John Paul II did...and I also hope he will celebrate a Traditional Latin Mass, although almost certainly it would have to be either another bishop celebrating in the presence of the Pope (a Mass which has its own certain rubrics and practices) or just a regular Pontifical Solemn Mass, since a Solemn Papal Mass would be missing everything from the sedia gestatoria to the flabella to all the old Papal court to that little golden straw he drinks the Precious Blood through, etc. etc. etc. Just would never work without months and months of incredible planning, it seems.
