Communion Under Both Kinds by Michael Davies. In November of 1978, in defiance of Pope John Paul II, the Bishops of the USA authorized the distribution of Holy Communion under both kinds to the laity at Sunday Mass. This rebellion resulted in a partial surrender by the Vatican in 1984—giving permission for limited and regulated usage of Communion under both kinds. These developments, everything between 1978 and 1984 and up to the present, are documented by Davies in this edition. The history of Communion under one kind in the Latin Church and the resultant complaints of Protestants is also well documented. 48 pages, softcover.$8.95 Mass Facing The People by Michael Davies. This booklet makes clear that Mass facing the people has never been demanded by the Church and that it was not so much as mentioned in a single document of the Second Vatican Council. In addition, there is no mandatory legislation from the Holy See requiring that Mass be said facing the people. The booklet notes the great pastoral insensitivity and ignorance of liturgical history regularly inflicted upon church members, but it also gives the documentation to resist—especially as it affects the celebration of the Traditional Mass. 42 pages, softcover.$8.95 A Privilege of the Ordained by Michael Davies. This booklet presents the truth about Communion in the hand. Our Lord said at the Last Supper “This Is My Body”. Pope John Paul II has recently reminded us that: “To touch the Sacred Species, and to distribute them with their own hands, is a privilege of the ordained one.” This booklet shows that at a time of decreasing respect for the Blessed Sacrament, every Catholic should comply with the clearly expressed wishes of Pope John Paul II and insist upon receiving the Host in the traditional manner. 40 pages, softcover.$8.95 The Eternal Sacrifice by Michael Davies. Subtitled “The Liturgy Since Vatican II” is a summation of what the Mass is, what it is not, and of the changes that have come about in the past generation. In this booklet, Michael Davies has done a superb job in clarifying these questions for the layman and has even provided a very helpful analytical index. Mr. Davies initiated this essay with “Liturgy has meaning only in so far as it is directed to God.” 60 pages, softcover.$8.95 |
