Excellent work.

This book has some great moments and sections but the end really turned me off. There is so much anti-Vatican II bias permeating the end of section 4. He seems to be blaming the council for a loss of beauty in Liturgy. This was a Council of the Church Fathers led by the Holy Spirit. All in one paragraph he bashes what has come from the council and then quotes the council saying Gregorian chant is the proper music. He seems to be picking and choosing what parts of the council to follow and whatever he doesn't like, he bashes. Big turn off.

One of the books that has most influenced my theological studies. A beautiful treatise on sacramental vision.
