1st Friday Conference May 2015 (Part 1)
Most traditional Catholics are aware of some of the changes that were made to the Holy Week liturgies prior to Vatican Council II, but few know that even great traditional liturgists, like Dom Guéranger, desired that changes be made to these liturgies.  The Church on several occasions has removed accretions from the Mass and liturgy, as well as distinguished between “religious” music and “liturgical” music.  Although the new Holy Week liturgy is not without flaws, it should not be compared with the destruction of the Mass through the Novus Ordo.  Similarly, the feast of St. Joseph the Worker was founded to combat communism and its incursions in the Church.  The practice of taking that which is contrary to the Faith and transforming it into something to aid true Catholic devotion has been employed by the Church from the earliest days.
