Official Traditional Catholic Directory: Listing All Traditional Latin Masses and Traditional Resources for the United States and Canada

by Fr M. E. Morrison and Martin Morrison

More and more Catholics, tiring of the 'New Mass" in the vernacular with contemporary music, are seeking the Traditional Latin Mass, the Roman Catholic Mass of 2000 years, as it existed before the introduction of a radically-changed 'New Order" service after the Second Vatican Council (1963-1965).

It also includes a list of traditional Catholic periodicals, suppliers, organizations, seminaries, religious orders, lay societies, retreats, schooling, and a necrology of traditional Catholic priests.

Very useful

Whether you've been a traditionalist since the 60s or whether you just feel like going to a Tridentine Mass once in a while this directory can be useful to you. It lists places where you can find the Mass of the ages state by state and Canada and some Eupopean spots. Father Morrison lists masses celebrated in the diocese (with the local bishop's permission) masses celebrated by independents (parishes that decided to strike out on their own and have the Tridientine Mass whether the bishop likes it or not) the SSPX (say what you want about them, but there would probably be no indult if they weren't around) the SSPV and a CMRI, a sedevacanist group. The directory also lists traditional seminaries, convents, monasteries, schoools and lay organizations. For the curious and the committed this guide is a great thing.
