No Catholic will also be unaware of the crisis in Catholic liturgy. Even priests are steadily bewildered by the contradictory information put out by liturgical “experts.” This one-of-a-kind book cuts through the confusion because it makes liturgical issues understandable for the laity. “Mass Confusion” empowers priests and laity alike to handle the “liturgical elite.” It explains what the Church does and doesn’t allow in the liturgy. It provides you with answers on your questions on hundreds of liturgical issues, distilled from a mountain of liturgical documents. It silences personal “interpretation” of the Church’s liturgical law. And it documents your right to have Mass celebrated as the Church intended. Best of all, it provides this information in a clear and concise way.
“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 may be valid, licit, joyful, and focused on God reasonably than at the ‘community.'” -Mitch Pacwa, S.J., creator 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 must hope and pray that this effort to end ‘Mass Confusion’ will bring about genuine ‘Mass Appeal.'” -Very Reverend Peter M.J. Stravinskas, S.T.D., Editor for The Catholic Response
