Most of us have experienced liturgical abuses during Mass. Sometimes we witness obvious innovations, but other times we are less certain—and we don't always know how to prudently proceed in addressing such problems.
In Mass Revision, best-selling author and apologist Jimmy Akin carefully guides you through each step of the Mass, showing you exactly how the Church says it should be celebrated.
When you finish reading Mass Revision, you'll have a deeper understanding of the introductory rites, the liturgy of the word, the liturgy of the Eucharist, who can and cannot receive Communion, the concluding rites, liturgical furnishings and vestments, as well as proper postures and actions during Mass.
This book also includes a list of common liturgical abuses, a step-by-step guide on what you should do when you witness such abuse, as well as a detailed guide and overview of the Church's liturgical documents. Mass Revision also contains . . .
- A complete outline of the liturgy.
- Detailed timeline of how the Mass has changed over the years.
- The Holy See’s response to attempts to strip male terms out of the liturgy.
- The U.S. bishops’ specific guidelines for receiving Holy Communion.
- Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's controversial memo on pro-abortion politicians receiving Communion.
- A table of liturgical abuses ranked by how severe they are.
- A glossary giving the definitions of more than 200 liturgical words (so you won’t be mystified by them anymore!).
No other work comes close to delivering this amount of timely information in a concise, readable, and straightforward manner. Mass Revision is an indispensable resource. No one interested in the liturgy can afford to miss this powerful, must-read volume and the eye-opening information it contains.
