The apologetic rationale for traditions in the first two parts of the book can be a bit tedious at times, but richer at others. The third part of the book dedicated to prayers and ceremonies--a walkthrough of the Mass--reads more like a cheat-sheet than a guide for those dedicated to learning the Latin of the Latin Mass.\r\nStill, it is a useful and interesting book. I'm not sure of who the audience is meant to be: somewhere between a curious Catholic used to the Vatican II Mass and, perhaps, a newcomer to a 'traditional' community? Also, anyone wanting a deeper understanding of any Catholic Mass--some mention is even given of Eastern traditions.","date":"Jun 4th 2025"},{"name":"MARK ANTHONY BEEBE","rating":"5","title":" The Latin Mass Explained","text":"An excellent resource on the Latin Mass.","date":"Mar 6th 2025"},{"name":"Marie ","rating":"5","title":"The Latin Mass explained","text":"I didn't grow up with the Latin Mass.

In this technically precise yet easy-to-read book, Msgr. George J. Moorman goes through the Latin Mass and explains its actions and words prayer by prayer. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned veteran in attending the Latin Mass, Msgr. Moorman’s thorough explanations of the parts of the Mass make this book an extremely beneficial resource for anyone attending the Latin Mass to garner more fruit from it!
To give you a greater appreciation and respect for the Latin Mass, this book will answer all your burning questions about its unique and traditional features. Some of the topics covered are:
The relationship of the sacrifice of the Mass to the sacrifice of the Cross
What is necessary for the celebration of the Mass
Why Latin is used
The importance of ceremony
The preparatory part of the Mass
The importance of silence in the Mass
The three principal parts of the Mass
What is to be done after Mass
Msgr. Moorman’s beautiful explanation of the Latin Mass is inspired by and connected to Pope Benedict XVI’s motu proprio Summorum Pontificum and demonstrates how it ties in beautifully as a visible demonstration of the Church’s dogmas, theology, and traditions.

Excellent reading, highly recommended, clear and to the point, excellent help for those that are considering attending the Tridentine Latin mass and those that do not want to attend and feel is obsolete, will open your eyes to the true meaning of the Holy Mass

The Latin Mass: Should be The Extraordinary Mass
Posted by Unknown on Jun 4th 2025
This text is more like an insider's guide to the extraordinary Mass than it is a tool for holistically engaging in a Mass celebrated in Latin. The apologetic rationale for traditions in the first two parts of the book can be a bit tedious at times, but richer at others. The third part of the book dedicated to prayers and ceremonies--a walkthrough of the Mass--reads more like a cheat-sheet than a guide for those dedicated to learning the Latin of the Latin Mass.
Still, it is a useful and interesting book. I'm not sure of who the audience is meant to be: somewhere between a curious Catholic used to the Vatican II Mass and, perhaps, a newcomer to a 'traditional' community? Also, anyone wanting a deeper understanding of any Catholic Mass--some mention is even given of Eastern traditions.

Very Helpful
Posted by Mary E. on Mar 24th 2022
I actually did not order the book for myself. I grew up with the Latin Mass and attended until the changes in the Mass early 60;s but again started attending the Latin Mass in the mid 70;s.
I now attend a Diocesan Latin Mass and many who attend are not familiar with what is happening. I saw this book for $5 in April and several ordered it and have found it very helpful. If it would be on sale for $5 again, I know some others that would like a copy.

The Latin Mass Explained
Posted by Anthony D. on Mar 19th 2022
I loved this book. I'vealways preferred the Traditional Latin Mass. It was the Mass I grew up with, the Mass I served as an altar boy. The Mass of my First Communion, and Confirmation. I really thought that I knew the Mass, but the insights in this book opened my eyes even more. After reading this, I find it even more difficult to understand the Novus Ordo, and the recent attacks on the Latin Mass by the Pope and many Cardinals, Bishops and Priests. This should be required reading in every Seminary and Houses of Formation.
