👉 Has modern Catholic worship lost its soul? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joins Conor Gallagher to ask a bold question: Is the Novus Ordo Mass less Catholic than the Traditional Latin Mass?
They trace the sweeping liturgical changes since Vatican II, exploring how the Novus Ordo reshaped Catholic belief, reverence for the Eucharist, and the Church’s sense of sacred mystery. Dr. Kwasniewski argues that these reforms created a “Catholicism-lite” — a faith stripped of its symbolic depth, language of beauty, and theocentric focus.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many Catholics are returning to the TLM — or how the Church can recover her lost reverence — this conversation offers historical insight, theological depth, and a hopeful vision for renewal.
