Liturgy Wars: Catholic Liturgy Since Vatican II

Within  living memory, the liturgy of the Latin rite provided a visible focus  of unity for Catholics.  It possessed a universal liturgical language  that distinguished Catholicism wherever it was present, supplemented by  devotional practices such as processions, Eucharistic adoration and  other aids to faith.  To many Catholics, it appeared the embodiment of  the Church's unchanging nature. By contrast, today the liturgy of the  Latin Church is a source of controversy, over virtually every aspect of  the liturgy, whether it be which direction the priest faces, the music  played, or the vestments worn by the clergy, and has been the source of  fierce debates and division among clergy and laity alike. "Liturgy Wars: Catholic Liturgy After Vatican II" will describe the efforts to reform the Catholic liturgy in the 20th century and how those efforts led to the divisions which persist within the Roman Catholic Church today.
