Don’t you hate it when you think you know the answer to something . . . and then you find out you were dead wrong? This happened to me regarding the congregation reciting Mass Propers in the Extraordinary Form.
The Latin Mass Has Come Such A Long Way!
“The greatest problem of the new missal, at least in English-speaking countries, lay in the miserable translation that was imposed upon priests and people. Many prayers were so mistranslated that a student of first-year Latin would have done better.” — Msgr. Richard Schuler, 1984
“Chronicles of Narnia” by Msgr. Richard Schuler

Reflections From The Editor Of The Campion Missal & Hymnal

Dom Gregory Murray’s People’s Mass & Holy Week
Here is Dom Gregory Murray’s “People’s Mass” in Latin. Somebody could take this, insert the new Translation, and make a lot of money. P.S. What’s it doing in Lapierre’s Holy Week?!!
Why We Must Never Fail To Sing Holy Music At Mass
For this reason, we must never say, “I cannot be bothered to spend half an hour studying the music for Sunday’s Mass.”
Historic Meeting of . . . Two Popes? Awesome!
I am not a person who “gets emotional” very easily, but this meeting really touched my heart.

“I admire the courage and uprightness of Pope Benedict on the subject.”—Pope Francis
Msgr. Richard Schuler and the Piccoluomini
Sure enough, a few hours after the phone call, I happened to be searching the internet and I came upon the biography of Pope Pius II. What was his name before becoming pope? You guessed it !!!
Dr. Theodore Marier And Pope Francis
Our new Holy Father, Pope Francis, seems to be less interested in the Liturgy than his immediate predecessor. Some are asking, “What will become of the Liturgical movement called for by Pope Benedict and popes before him?”
