    “The Mass of All Ages” — this is the expression the Catechism of the Catholic Church uses to teach that though the Mass has changed in many ways, the fundamental elements have “stayed the same” from ancient times “until our own day” (CCC 1345).

    But what about the changes that happened after Vatican II (1962-65)? What about the “new order” (Latin Novus Ordo) of Mass promulgated in 1970 by Pope Saint Paul VI in the new Roman Missal? Why did the Church change "the Latin Mass"? In this in-depth study, Dr. Brant Pitre will answer common questions about Vatican II and the Novus Ordo by going back to Scripture, tradition, and the Magisterium. In particular, the class will explore topics such as:


    • How We Got the Novus Ordo
    • The Popes Who Changed the Mass
    • The Popes Who Changed the Mass
    • The Jewish Roots of Church Architecture
    • Latin and Vernacular Languages
    • Facing East and Facing the People
    • The New Lectionary
    • The New Offertory
    • Eucharistic Prayers I, II, III, and IV
    • The Sign of Peace
    • Communion in the Hand and on the Tongue
    • Gregorian Chant and Instrumental Music
    • The Future of the Roman Rite


    In addition, the course will show how parts of the Order of Mass — the Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist, and Concluding Rites — are rooted in Scripture, tradition, and the writings of Popes, Saints, and Doctors of the Church. Particular emphasis will be placed on unveiling the mystical meaning of the rites and prayers. 
    So, if you’ve ever wondered — Why did the Church change the Mass after Vatican II? And is it still the same Mass? — then this study is for you. As we will see, when the new Roman Missal is explained in light of Scripture and tradition, we will understand what Pope Benedict XVI meant when he referred to “the spiritual richness and theological depth” of this Missal. We will also see how the Novus Ordo is rooted in the living tradition of “all ages” — ancient, medieval, and modern — right up to our own day.

Amazing Course

An amazing overview of the biblical and traditional history of the Roman Rite as well as a mystological introduction to the earthly, and heavenly, celebration of the Mass. As a lay cradle catholic, raised in the era of catechism classes which provided a mastery of allegory, banners and collages, this course not only opened my eyes, my ears, my heart and my soul to the Wonders happening before me daily, but outfitted me in the armor necessary to support and defend my faith by understanding how and why it is celebrated. Most highly recommended for all laity and religious.

An antidote for Ultra-traditionalist misinformation

A fantastic panoramic review of the history of the changes in the Roman Liturgy from Apostolic time to the present Day. Make no mistake. The claim about the Roman Missal not changing since the First Century AD represents uninformed wishful thinking. Our Lord and Savior told us that the truth will set us free. Let’s believe him.

The Mass of All Ages

. Content that I’ve had the opportunity to review is the typical high quality teaching I’ve come to expect from Dr Pitre. If I have a complaint it is in the advertising of the product, I was expecting video material and had to confirm it was only audio material. Just putting ‘CD’ on the product is in my opinion insufficient. Make it clear that the material is audio only. Now having said that, I would still have purchased the material.
