Synopsis:

The Pope, the Council, and the Mass, the definitive response to Traditionalist Catholics when first published in 1981, has been updated to include the developments from the time of the first publication up to, and including, the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. In addressing the concerns raised by the followers of the late Archbishop Lefebvre and other Traditionalists , the authors give a truly Catholic understanding of Tradition, the Second Vatican Council and its implementation, and the nature of true liturgical reform. This book not only provides the reader with a sound perspective on the past, it also offers insight into the present state of the Church and the outlook for the future. History, canon law, ecclesiastical and papal documents, and Scripture are mined in this solid apologetic for a faith that is One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.

About the Author: James Likoudis is a former college instructor in history and government with more than twenty years teaching experience in public and private education. A nationally known writer and lecturer in catechetics, sex education, and the liturgy, he has published many articles on these and related subjects, including the booklet Fashioning Person for a New Age critiquing so-called ?Catholic? sex education. A convert to the Catholic Church from Greek Orthodoxy (1952), Mr. Likoudis translated Rene Casin's Saint Thomas Aquinas, Orthodoxy, and Neo-Modernism in the Church (1977).
