Pope Paul's New Mass

Pope Paul's New Mass is the third and final volume of Michael Davies's Liturgical Revolution trilogy, offering an unmatched history of how the New Mass was developed, implemented, and transformed Catholic worship. This comprehensive work documents a range of liturgical issues that arose over the last generation: Mass facing the people, new legislation, Communion in the hand, and questions surrounding the Offertory. For over thirty years, this book has been regarded as the most thorough critique of the New Mass in English. Michael Davies was one of the earliest critics of these post-Vatican II liturgical changes.
