Turned Around: Replying to the Most Common Objections Against the Traditional Latin Mass
About this book
Turned Around: Replying to Common Objections Against the Traditional Latin Mass is a practical and clear book that examines the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) through a fresh lens. In each chapter, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski addresses common objections to the TLM, transforming these challenges into gateways for a deeper understanding and appreciation of its timeless beauty. From the reasons we worship facing East, to the profound significance of praying in Latin, and the ritual separation of priest and people, Turned Around sheds light on why these liturgical elements resonate so deeply with the faithful.
Various other topics will be explored within these pages, including:
Why the Traditional Mass Is Kingly and Courtly
Why We Follow Inherited Rituals and Strict Rubrics
Why We Repeat Ourselves in Traditional Worship
Why We Use a One-Year Lectionary of Readings
Why it Is Better Not to Understand Everything Immediately
Why We Kneel for Communion and Receive on the Tongue
Turned Around provides the answers and intrigue to explore the paradoxical and countercultural elements of the TLM that have drawn the young and older faithful closer to the divine for centuries. This book is not just a defense of tradition; it is a journey to the heart of Catholic worship, promising to deepen the reader's spiritual life and understanding of the Mass. Whether you're a skeptic or a devout follower, Turned Around offers a compelling case for the enduring relevance and beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass.
