Heresy of Informality – The Roman Liturgy
Expanded new edition of the famous disputative treatise
The Second Vatican Council was the revolutionary attempt to modernise the Roman Catholic Church. In 1965, Pope Paul VI abolished the Roman Liturgy against the advice of many bishops. However, this did not resolve the crisis and the conflict between tradition and modernity.
Martin Mosebach critically examines the end of this tradition and debates whether the final word has already been spoken on the old ritual.
- New edition, extended and with a preface by the author
- An excellently plea for the reintroduction of the old Roman Liturgy
- Mosebach was awarded the Georg Büchner Prize in 2007
Martin Mosebach, born in Frankfurt in 1951, obtained a degree in law and has since worked as a freelance author.
