Liturgy & Music

 

"A liturgist is an affliction sent by God so that Catholics living in a time when there is no overt persecution need not be denied the privilege of suffering for the faith." - Christopher Derrick

Latin Mass Society The Latin Mass Society holds firmly to its belief in the value of the Church's traditional ritual as the most perfect and effective means of reaching the innermost depths of our being, of lifting us out of the finite and worldly sphere and into the world of Christ - and therefore of fulfilling the fundamental purpose of the Second Vatican Council 'to restore all things in Christ'. The Latin Mass Society is a founder member of the International Una Voce Federation. In a message to the Federation dated 25th July 1996 Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, said: "The International Una Voce Federation has played an important role in supporting the use of the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal in obedience to the directives of the Holy See. For this valuable service I express my gratitude to the members of the Federation and extend my blessing."
