The Great Sacrilege by Fr. James F. Wathen, O.S.J. TAN, Rockford, 1971. 181 page presumed first edition trade paperback with mild rubbing on cover wear/some interior pencil bracketing. In 1971, amidst the chaos and confusion wrought by the Second Vatican Council and the advent of the Novus Ordo Missae, faithful Catholics craved clarity and direction. TAN Books published this strong critique of the New Mass shortly after the famous Intervention of Cardinals Ottaviani & Bacci was issued. Father’s love of the true, the good, the beautiful, and the holy was evident on every page, and his indignation at the destruction of 1900 years of Catholic liturgical tradition is clear as he minced no words in his criticism of his fellow clergy or in his analysis of what was at the heart of the New Mass. Father’s insights into the crisis in the Church and the attack upon the ancient liturgy and the dogmas of the Church are just as relevant today as they were in 1971. When TAN Books was sold several years ago this book disappeared from its catalog. This book proves . . . * The "New Mass" does not involve Papal Infallibility. * The Apostolic Constitution Missale Romanum of Pope Paul VI is null and void. * The Apostolic Constitution Quo Primum of Pope St. Pius V is still in effect. * The "Tridentine Mass" is the only Mass of the Latin Rite. * The "New Mass" is new. *The "New Mass" is illegal. *The "New Mass" is immoral. *The "New Mass" is not Catholic. *The "New Mass" - if we believe the Council
