SERIES SUMMARY
This series will have six parts.
Introduction to the series.
Part 1 – A New Liturgy: How the ‘reform before the reform’ was understood. This installment explores how the first liturgical changes were understood and received by the laity. Were these “interim” liturgical changes viewed as minor modifications to the familiar pre-conciliar Latin Mass, or something more significant? How were the “interim” liturgical changes viewed in relation to the larger, more substantial changes which were introduced in 1970?
Part 2 – Polls & Surveys: Assessing popular opinions on the reform. This installment explores how popular the initial liturgical changes were. Did the laity like and support these initial “interim” liturgical changes? Did the clergy? Did the success of the initial modest liturgical changes drive interest or demand for further, larger changes?
Part 3 – “Missal-bound resistance”: A study of lay & clerical reaction. This installment explores if and how unhappiness with the initial liturgical changes drove active resistance by Catholics in their normal parishes, unrelated to any of the nascent traditionalist movements. When did active resistance begin, end, and what forms did it take? Was it limited to the laity, or did it extend to parish priests?
Part 4 – “What went wrong?”: Pastoral Accompaniment, Disillusionment, and Blame. This installment explores how the church provided pastoral care and accompaniment to the laity during the initial liturgical changes, and how the laity and clergy dealt with confusion, frustration, shifting expectations, and feelings of failure.

This will depress the Roche and K of the Dwindling Parish!
The impressive figure, which Rorate had foreseen years ago, has now become reality: according to the French opinion pollster IFOP, headed by Jerôme Fourquet, 55% of priests aged 25-34, celebrate the Traditional Mass.
The poll comes on the eve of the papal visit to the Nation.
Of course, the total number of priests in France has decreased substantially since the Council, but even so the percentage is impressive, considering that only 2% of priests 75 or older celebrate the TLM.
