Join us as we embark on an enlightening exploration of the Novus Ordo Mass and the implications it has on our faith. We'll compare it with the Traditional Latin Mass, known for its fervor and reverence, challenging our listeners to experience both and feel the stark contrast. As we journey through this discourse, we'll spotlight how changes in the English liturgy have induced a shift in doctrine, a trend that seems to be ominously surfacing today.We'll also delve into the intricate details of the TLM's rubrics and the significance of altar placements, reflecting on how these dimensions can shape the faith experience. Our exploration will reveal how the Novus Ordo Mass, with its flexible rubrics, has led to considerable variations in Church services. This, we fear, may lead to a de facto schism, with Catholics 'church hopping' akin to Protestant traditions. As we traverse these discussions, we'll also share insights into the Eucharist as a communal meal, reminding us of our place in the Father's family.Finally, we'll journey through traditional Catholic theology, exploring the theology of Sacrosanctum Concilium and its relevance to the Novus Ordo Mass. We'll discuss the concept of sin and justice against God, reflecting on the importance of the sacrificial system. Engage with us as we share our passion for the traditional Latin Mass, its profound impact, and the beauty of our faith. We promise this episode will challenge your perspectives and deepen your understanding of Catholic liturgy.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonSupport the showTake advantage of great Catholic red wines by heading over to https://recusantcellars.com/ and using code "BASED" for 10% off at checkout!********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon
