Vatican II and the Reform of the Mass

For the Year of Faith in which we recall the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, it behooves us to reflect on what the Council actually asked for, and why a return to Tradition will prove, in the long run, more faithful to the Council’s original inspiration and intentions.

Random Quote
