CHAPTER 3. Conspiracy theory? Fr. Josef Jungmann describes the New Mass — in 1948.
The creation of the new rite gradually unfolded over the course of twenty years through a series of incremental liturgical changes overseen by Fr. Annibale Bugnini, who would write Vatican II’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, implement it as the head of Consilium, and finally preside over the formulation of the 1969 Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI.
“… goes a long way in reconstructing the all-important narrative of how the liturgical reform came about… a legitimate claim to being the fullest account of this narrative currently available in English.”
