Frequent Confession After Vatican II, a major weapon in the arsenal of struggling Catholics was turned into a marshmallow. Frequent Confession became "necessary" only for those "in mortal sin," it was thought (and sometimes taught). Out of print, too, went this hugely popular volume on both sides of the Atlantic, easily the most methodical book ever written about the many uses of Confession for spiritual growth. Confession, its author makes clear, is not a counseling session. $24.95 Code: 9781934888094 Learn More

Catholic Prayer Book for Marine Corps One of us at Roman Catholic Books picked up this World War II-era prayer book from a used book dealer. It could have fit easily into a shirt pocket. There is a scribbled note inside the front cover, obviously written by a young Marine. It reads: "Friday, Confession, 1630-1900." We had to buy it. We had to reprint it. Cardinal Farley was archbishop of New York at the time, and his imprimatur appears, of course. So do all the familiar prayers and basic instructions, and naturally, the text of the old Mass is here, in Latin and English. $6.95 Code: 9780912141817 Learn More Latin-English Missal In one durable booklet Missal.

The Development of the Liturgical Reform is a historical study, based heavily on the diary of a consummate Vatican insider, the late Cardinal Giuseppe Ferdinando Antonelli....[A]nyone interested in gaining a better understanding of how the ‘liturgical movement’ veered off its path in the late 20th century will find this a valuable resource.” --Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture.org “While this book is a homage to a man who loved the Church’s Liturgy, worked tirelessly on its behalf, and who was saddened to see it, in his own words, ‘de-sacralized,’ it is more than that. It is a tool by which the question of intellectual honesty concerning the implementation of the Liturgical reform can justly be raised.” -- NewTheologicalMovement.blogspot.com The Development of the Liturgical Reform $33.75 Published for the first time in English and based on the diaries and notes of Cardinal Ferdinando Antonelli, a pivotal figure in the Catholic Church’s liturgical-reform movement both before and after the Second Vatican Council, The Development of the Liturgical Reform shows that the Council’s vision for the Mass has yet fully to develop.                   Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera praises The Development of the Liturgical Reform Click here to read his letter to author Msgr.
