An eye opening series on the Liturgy

Most soi disant Traditionalists are very familiar with a particular line of argument about the Liturgical Movement and the Normative Mass vs the so-called Traditional 1962 Roman Missal ( a two year transitional Missal putatively encapsulating "The Mass of All Time") and in the post office in their minds are the most-wanted innovators bad guy  posters and in the stained glass windows in their minds are the images of the heroic saints of those who organically created the Holy Holocaust.

But, what if this oft-told tale was more polemic than real history and what if the presumptive saints were sinners?

Most soi disant traditionalists are jake with a great centralising Encyclical, Mediator Dei, and so appeals to Tradition in opposition to the Normative Mass have to deal with that enormous fact which, in essence, places within Tradition the reality that the Pope has the authority and power to do whatever’n'hell he desires with the Mass.

I read a great seven post series on the Liturgy at Rad Trad and it is a series that will likely make you think differently about the Mass and especially whether or not it really was – as it is claimed – a blessing for any Christian Catholic in the world to travel to foreign lands and hear Mass in Latin.

Interested ?

Then read this series of posts from the great Rad Trad who has, sadly, discontinued his Blog. The Rad Trad had a great effect upon me in a short amount of time.  He is a real scholar and a gentleman.

In any event, his series will change the way you think about the Liturgy.
