  • Does anyone know of any book against the New Mass, that is as good or better than The Great Sacrilege by Fr. Wathen?

    One hears that The Great Sacrilege was very influential with a lot of people.      
    If any one saith that true and natural water is not of necessity for baptism, and on that account wrests to some sort of metaphor those words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost...,"  Let Him Be Anathama.  -COUNCIL OF TRENT Sess VII Canon II “On Baptism"

  • Another good book is “Questioning the Validity of Masses using the All English Canon” by Patrick Omlor.

    Here is a link to the pdf:

    "In His wisdom," says St. Gregory, "almighty God preferred rather to bring good out of evil than never allow evil to occur."

  • Michael Davies' Pope Paul's New Mass isn't bad.  I have some disagreements, but tons of good information.  This was extremely influential in its day, running neck-and-neck with Father Wathen's book.

    Father Cekada's The Problems with the Prayers of the Modern Mass is also good.

    Coomaraswamy's The Problems with the New Mass is also a Trad classic.
