ABOUT THIS BOOK

A second book of essays on three connected topics: the distinction between extreme Catholic reactionaries and mainstream traditionalists, the New Mass and its real liturgical abuses, and genuine — not “silly liberal” — ecumenism. From a Catholic who loves the Tridentine Latin Mass and worships in a reverent Novus Ordo parish.
