Overview

This work addresses the most common objections raised against the Traditional Latin Mass and presents clear, reasoned responses that illuminate why its rites and practices resonate with Catholics across generations and cultures, and why they reflect the Church’s understanding of reverent worship anchored in history and doctrine. Drawing on tradition, liturgical theology, and the teaching of the Church’s magisterium, it turns challenges such as language, posture, ritual formality, and lectionary structure into opportunities to deepen appreciation for the spiritual richness of the Traditional Latin Mass.

  • Examines common objections to the Traditional Latin Mass and offers clear answers grounded in tradition and doctrine. 
  • Explains why ancient liturgical practices such as facing East and Latin prayer have spiritual significance. 
  • Shows how inherited rituals and strict rubrics support reverent worship rather than hinder participation. 
  • Addresses objections about repetition, rubrics, and the one-year lectionary to reveal deeper theological meaning. 
  • Invites both skeptics and seasoned attendees to see the enduring relevance and beauty of the Traditional Latin Mass. 

Intended Audience

This book is suited for Catholics who wish to understand and explain the Traditional Latin Mass with clarity and charity, for those navigating objections to the Vetus Ordo from within and outside the Church, and for readers seeking tradition-rooted apologetics that reinforce reverence for sacred liturgy.

    Haven't yet read it--it's in my queue. The rating is for my expectations-- both for the topic and the author.

    Brings light to the debate

    Posted by Ken on Nov 14th 2024

    After more than half a century, there continues to be controversy swirling about the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), and rather than subsiding, the TLM movement is growing. On one side you have Catholics who love the TLM, and at the other extreme are those who think it is a source of division in the Church. In the middle are those who simply don’t see the appeal or are indifferent. Peter Kwasniewski’s book will bring informed discussion to all parties. And it is important to note that the author holds that the Novus Ordo “new Mass” is a valid Mass.

    An ideal book to introduce the Latin Mass to friends

    Posted by Phillip Campbell on Nov 13th 2024

    "Turned Around" is an apologetic for the Latin Mass structured around the most common objections against it—“Why does the priest have his back to us?””Isn’t the New Lectionary superior because it has more Scripture?” “Why insist on Latin?” and so on. The responses are well-explained and accessible to the average Church-goer who is sincerely befuddled about why people prefer the Traditional Latin Mass. Written in the characteristically lucid style Dr. Kwasniewski is known for, this book is not only edifying but evangelistic—it’s the perfect sort of book to give to friends and family who are sympathetic to Catholic Tradition but don’t yet understand the particulars.

    Very straightforward

    Absolutely love this book. I attend NO but this book just solidifies the beauty and importance of the Latin Mass (and how to explain it to others who may be on the fence!) Bravo!

    Turned Around

    Dr Kwasniewski has again written a most well-researched and compelling book on the need for the entire Church to return to the Latin Mass. Every soul who aspires to communion with God should read this most important text. The historical facts and reasoning are well-elucidated and lead to only one conclusion. We must all return to the Traditional Latin Mass. There is no other Way for men to worship God, and to enjoy peace and communion with Him in this life.

    Just ordered. Looking forward to reading. If it's anything like "Bound By Truth", it will be great.

    Very Easy to Understand!

    Posted by Sam on Oct 11th 2024

    Absolutely loving the “Q&A” style of this book! It covers common questions such as “Why is the priest separated from the people?” and explains everything in such an easy-to-understand way.
