Description
Liturgy in Chaos
No Catholic can be unaware of the crisis in Catholic liturgy. Even priests are often bewildered by the contradictory information put out by liturgical "experts." This one-of-a-kind book cuts through the confusion:
- Empowers priests and laity to deal with the "liturgical elite."
- Explains what the Church does and doesn't allow.
- Distills the answers from a mountain of liturgical documents.
- Provides information in a clear and concise way.
- Silences personal "reinterpretations" of the Church's liturgical law.
- Documents your right to have Mass celebrated as the Church intended.
"Priests are pulled to the 'left' and to the 'right' by groups with different agendas. This book cuts through the agendas and helps us steer a course toward a liturgy that is valid, licit, joyful, and focused on God rather than on the 'community.'" - Mitchell Pacwa, SJ, author of Father, Forgive Me, For I Am Frustrated
"James Akin has assembled texts that govern the Church's life of worship and has done so in 'user-friendly' style. We should hope and pray that this effort to end 'Mass confusion' will bring about genuine 'Mass appeal.'" - Very Rev. Peter MJ Stravinskas, PhD, STD, Editor, The Catholic Answer
"A timely and useful book. It is essential reading for any faithful Catholic who wishes to vindicate his right to true and proper worship." - Charles Wilson, Executive Director, St. Joseph Foundation
James Akin is a religion writer in San Diego, a contributing editor to This Rock magazine, and an apologist for Catholic Answers, a lay-run apologetics and evangelization organization.
