Navigating life as a spiritual exile in Barcelona, Spain-riding metros, eating hamburgers, waking up to the sound of motorcycles and ambulances-Joseph asks himself, "Where do I belong?" No city in this present world, Babylon, will do.His poetry sings, mourns, investigates, complains, and wonders about life in Babylon, before Babylon, beyond Babylon, and with others in Babylon. In his first poetry volume, Joseph's heart cries out that he belongs to the city to come after Babylon, where the noise, Will sweep us off our feetAnd carry us in a single chorusOf perfect harmony and rhythmInto the arms of the one who playsThe heavensAs both the master and masterpiece himself. -from "The Death of Earthly Song"

For Catholics used to the newer form of the Mass or Novus Ordo, experiencing the older form can raise a lot of questions. Why has the priest got his back to me? Why is everything in Latin? Why is there so much chant, and so much silence? How am I supposed to participate in this liturgy? How might this seemingly strange, archaic ritual be spiritually fruitful for me? This booklet has been written to answer these and and similar questions, briefly, clearly, and without polemic.How do I participate in the Traditional Mass?What do its ceremonies and prayers mean?Where did it come from? And what is the "Organic Development" of the Liturgy?What is it for? What is the place of the Traditional Mass in the Church?The booklet ends with a helpful guide to readings and resources.

The decline of the Catholic Church in the developed world has been accelerated in the last decade by a devastating series of scandals involving sexual abuse by Catholic clergy. But just as clerical abuse fits in to a wider story about the abuse of power in the modern "sexual marketplace," so the decline of Catholic church-going and religious belief finds its context in a wider collapse of cultural institutions and shared beliefs: the crisis of modernity.This is no source of comfort for Catholics, since in recent decades the Church has provided neither shelter from secular trends nor a compelling analysis of the crisis. In these essays, Dr Joseph Shaw examines what the Church has in common with the wider world as it passes through this crisis as well as the perennial wisdom of her tradition that shows us how to escape it.The first part examines the place of the ancient Catholic liturgy in modernity, defending it, against the misunderstandings of modernists, as something supremely suited to engage our deepest instincts towards the worship of God. The second part turns to the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council and addresses a series of lines of attack on those Catholics attached to the traditional Latin Mass-notably the attempt to link them to the crisis of clerical abuse. The third part addresses one of the most contested issues of our times, sexuality and gender roles, and asks what, if anything, the Church can still say about them.Dr Shaw approaches these explosive topics with seriousness and honesty, leaving behind the point-scoring of social media and partisan journalism while not shying away from unpopular teachings and uncomfortable conclusions.
