CRANMER'S GODLY ORDER

Liturgical Revolution: Vol. I

Michael Davies demonstrates that Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer recognized that if you change the way people pray, you will influence what they believe. Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer (1549) began the process of converting England's Catholic Church to the Anglican faith. Davies compares these modifications to modern liturgical "reforms," and the parallels are startling.

Cranmer's Godly Order is a classic that Mr. Davies reworked and enhanced in his latter years. Davies explores the steps that led to the old Catholic Mass becoming the Lord's Supper in the Church of England, drawing on the finest of Catholic and Protestant scholarship as well as authentic sources. And these were changes, as both Popes and Reformers were quick to point out.

Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and Edward VI, and author of the new liturgy, was a master of Mass theology who despised it. The parallels between Anglican liturgy and the 1960s New Mass will be uncomfortably clear!

POPE JOHN'S COUNCIL

Liturgical Revolution: Vol. II

It is already considered a classic by those who have read it. Few works can compete with its clarity and objectivity. An incredible pattern emerges: a pastoral Council hijacked by a clique of theological liberals who threw out the documents of the Council Preparatory Committee (of which Archbishop Lefebvre was a member), turned off the microphones of those attempting to defend the Faith (no less than the illustrious Cardinal Ottaviani suffered this indignity), and co-opted the media so that their spin became "reality"?

POPE PAUL'S NEW MASS

Liturgical Revolution: Vol. III

It is the unrivalled account of how the New Mass was conceived, constructed, and implemented. Aside from that, a list of the last generation's numerous liturgical challenges is chronicled, ranging from Mass facing the people and revolutionary legislation to Communion in the hand and the Offertory dilemma. For more than three decades, this work has been regarded as the most comprehensive critique of the New Mass in the English language. Michael Davies, former president of Una Voce, was among the first to criticize the liturgical alterations made in the Mass following Vatican II. Archbishop Lefebvre recommended many of his early works, including the most comprehensive documentation and defense of the foundation of the SSPX: Apologia Pro Marcel Lefevbre (in three volumes).

By the mid-1970s, the Church's crisis was deepening. In his overall research on the numerous novelties being implemented, he had amassed a massive amount of information on the Council and how the vast majority of the Fathers had been deceived by the well-planned scheme of a clique of European bishops and their liturgical experts. Michael Davies suggested that the Church's intended headlong drive into unity with other Christian entities would, in reality, have the opposite effect and was hastening its demise.
