Synopsis
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.

From Publishers Weekly
It seems as though the Catholic Church is going through a retro phase. Pope Benedict XVI recently declared that the Latin Mass, which has seen limited use since the late 1960s, can now be celebrated by priests and laity all over the world. Woods, author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, has no doubt that this is a good idea. He may be in a minority camp in his church, but it is a vocal and passionate minority that desires to be heard. The author presents a hybrid of history, apologetics and theology in an effort to explore the mystery and beauty of the Latin Mass and answer what he views as misconceptions about this form of liturgy. However, his attempt at describing in ordinary words the various facets of this extraordinary form of liturgy falls flat. He does make an excellent point that contemporary liturgy can be too wordy, while the more traditional mass, with its generous use of silence, offers us the opportunity to focus our hearts and prayers on the action taking place at the altar, and to unite ourselves fervently to that action. Those interested in the evolution of liturgy will gain some insights from Woods's reflections. (Feb.)
