Very enlightening! Loved being able to print the written overview. I am a visual/ tactile learner and the printout greatly helped me to follow, and focus on the material I was hearing. Another incredible pile of pieces in the most amazing puzzle! Just wow!
The Catholic production programs are an extremely meaningful and effective nourishment for both spiritual and intellectual life. The videos and books that I have learnt from have significantly improved my understanding of the sacred message of God. Absolutely recommend!
Some great content and historical data, but overall, a mixed series. Some of the history seemed deliberately omitted to bolster the defense of the Novus Ordo, and to be silent on certain aspects of the Traditional Liturgy; which didn't seem entirely truthful. I celebrate both Forms, and have read extensively on the history of the Liturgy; and following Cardinal Ratzinger, I think we shouldn't be afraid of admitting that the reform could have been done better.
