What do the words of a Roman Catholic monk (who would be spending his time
more fruitfully if he could get his own people to stop killing each
other>) have to do anything?

If this is the Rk I think it is, (you didn't give a proper reference) it

The "us" being referred to are the 16 priests in the yagna. They must be
in perfect unison because a mistake in chanting will ruin the yagna.
