I presume that this is a reference to John Mason Neale, the renowned hymnographer and founder of the Cambridge Camden Society, which now glories under the name The Ecclesiology Society.
Here is the entry for him in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mason_Neale
The part about JMN being mauled at a funeral shows just what the iconoclasts would like to do today to lovers of the sacred liturgy. I myself was once stabbed in the hand by an iconoclast at a fondu party in Rome back in the early-Eighties. Luckily I survived to relate the tale. Nevertheless, it was a lesson well learned.
Re the photograph of JMN included in the entry: the expression suggests my own reaction to some of those shots of la sagrada familia, Spain.
Yes, this is the person referred to in the quotation.
What with the Brigado Rosso and the Badermeinhof lurking in the maquis, the assassinations of General della Chiesa and Aldo Moro, and the stabbing of anti-iconaclasts in broad day-light, Rome must have been a very dangerous place in the 70s and 80s. I hope things have improved – at least a little.
Here is a note on Antoni Gaudi:

At the basis of the controversy surrounding the proposed wreckage of St. Colman’s Cathedral lurks the problem of the so called “Liturgical Movement”.

The next link furnishes a review of some recent scholarship on the subject of the Liturgical Movement:

Well, well, if it is not Chuck, welcome back.
Unfortunately, you missed the point about the magic square. It is just a clever way of symbolizing the number 33 on the Passion Facade – a reference to the dominical age, just in case you did not get it. Basically, it is a device to cause mental bells to ring!

I got the point… but it wasnt worth getting. Basely, Gaudi is the vice to cause demented bullshit to reign (in Spain).
