Interdiocesan Commission for liturgical texts in vernacular language
On 14 May 1973, the archbishop of Valencia, José María García Lahiguera, created an Interdiocesan Commission for texts in vernacular language. It included eighteen members, and Pere Riutort was chosen as its president by a decree issued by the archbishop of Valencia on 18 October 1973. As a result of the work of this commission, the Llibre del Poble de Déu (Book of the People of God) was published at the end of 1975. This book is a comprehensive summary of liturgical texts adapted to the Valencian variety of the Catalan language. In order to be able to publish this book, Pere Riutort had to sell some lands that he owned in Mallorca. The approval of this book was surrounded by controversy since the beginning, together with the birth of blaverism in the Valencian society.[5]
