Sacred Then and Sacred Now: The Return of the Old Latin Mass

About this book

Examines what is now called the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (the old Latin Mass) in light of Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio allowing any priest to say it and any parishioner to request and attend it. Looks at what happened to the old Mass after Vatican II, why the Novus Ordo was so divisive and what led the Pope to issue his motu proprio.
