Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the origin and evolution of the Latin Mass, one of the worldâs oldest religious rituals. The author, Mgr. L. Duchesne, examines the development of the liturgy in the West from the fourth to the ninth century, continuing the work of previous authors on the subject. Duchesne draws on ancient texts, examining the relationship between the Roman and Gallican liturgies. He describes the rituals for ordination, baptism, and reconciliation, among others, in great detail, and explores the broader development of Christianity during this period. The author argues that the changes in these rituals reflect wider social, historical, and political developments, and contends that the evolution of the liturgy represents the development of the ecclesiastical hierarchy and the growth of Papal authority. The Latin Mass is one of the most important and enduring features of Christianity, and this book offers a fascinating glimpse into its origins.
