In his Opening Speech at the Second Vatican Council Pope Blessed John XXIII forswore Ecclesiastical Discipline and that policy remains in force to this very day and so I do not see how this new Committee will be of use in correcting one problem.
I know that must read as a cynical comment but the great Dom Prosper Gueranger in, "The Liturgical Year," commented that without Ecclesiastical Discipline all is chaos.
I hope I am wrong (Prolly am; I specialise in error) but I can see any number of "exemptions" being extended for various inculturation reasons rendering this new new committee toothless.
That such a Committee is needed is but a Confession that Hell has not only busted loose, in many places it is running the show.
