“It is true that there can be no more important half-hour in the forty-eight half hours which make up a complete calendar date.

Reverend James L. Meagher explores how Jesus Christ and the twelve apostles offered the first Mass and what Christ’s own example reveals about the nature, structure, and origins of Christian worship.

While the Last Supper is momentous, Meagher shows that the roots of the Mass reach far deeper into centuries of Jewish liturgical and temple tradition....

Their reactions to the Liturgical Revolution were, therefore, those of a shocked incredulity, such a nightmare seeming impossible in a Church that they had considered so well-protected from error by the Papacy. There w...

Dignitatis Humanae, the Second Vatican Council’s declaration on religious liberty, remains one of the most debated texts in modern Catholic theology. Its teaching raises urgent questions: Is the Council’s doctrine on religious liberty an infallible teaching or an act of the “authentic Magisterium”? May a Catholic suspend or withhold assent, and under what conditions? And most critically, does the Council’s treatment of religious liberty contradict the Church’s earlier magisterium? As Alan Fim...

The chequered life of Ludolph the Carthusian (c. 1295-1378) found its spiritual contentment in the writing of his colossal work on the Vita Jesu Christi in Latin. The book on the Life of Christ occupied some forty years of Ludolph's life in a charterhouse in Mainz.

These are st...

This collection of sonnets confronts the tension between human weakness and the call to holiness with honesty, reverence, and poetic restraint.

The sonnets move along the fault line between aspiration and inadequacy. They reach for Christ not by denying the human conditi...
