In this important pocket-size booklet, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing but accurate thesis that Vatican II and the Post–Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the Tabernacle from the central point in the altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary, nor even switching Mass to "face the people."
Filled with quotes from the relevant passages of the actual Church documents, this valuable little handbook is a wonderful aid for those trying to educate upon, discuss, and fight against a modernist update of the sanctuary in a parish Church.
Michael Davies also shows the striking similarity between the destruction of altars in the 16th century by Protestant "Reformers" and today's destruction of altars and sanctuaries by modernist reformers. This booklet is a bestseller and an eye-opener to unsanctioned changes in the structure of the sanctuary.

A perfect booklet for our times
I bought one, and enjoyed it so much I purchased 40 more to distribute in the wreckovated churches in my diocese. I’ve already had positive feedback from parishioners who have picked one up, scratched their heads, and wondered “why do things look like THIS?” The booklet is a perfect tool: it uses Vatican II’s own words to analyze what its ideal ought to have been- leaving the reader to read between the lines and realize the ideal wasn’t met (whether inadvertent or otherwise…). But one! You won’t regret it.
