Reality Check | Ep. 16 | The Battle for the Latin Mass: Tradition vs. Modernity in Catholic Liturgy
In this episode, liturgical scholar Gregory DiPippo takes us deep into the intricacies of the Roman Catholic liturgy, examining the current state of the Latin Mass in light of recent Vatican policies.
The Traditional Latin Mass, a cornerstone of Catholic worship for centuries, is now at the center of a heated debate within the Church. We discuss the significance of Traditionis Custodes, Pope Francis’s concerns about the Old Mass, and the broader cultural implications of liturgical reform. DiPippo provides a thoughtful analysis of the challenges faced by traditionalists and the future of the Latin Mass in an increasingly modernized Church. This episode is essential listening for those passionate about liturgy, tradition, and the ongoing struggle between continuity and change in Catholic worship.
