I have a 1966 hand missal and have always found the “interim” period fascinating.
Speaking about historical development, does anyone know of a book or artical that explains the traditional bases of the changes made to the Mass at Vatican II?
Fr., I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking, but something like Jungmann’s 1975 book The Mass: An Historical, Theological and Pastoral Survey might be of help in giving a historical overview of liturgical and theological developments. If you are looking for an apologia for the reformed Mass aimed at traditionalist, maybe something by Denis Crouan would be what you are looking for.
