The Mass: A Study in the Roman Liturgy - Softcover
This book was a tremendous contribution to English speaking Catholics. With knowledge of the origin and development of their rite of Mass, Catholics could more confidently defend its sacrificial nature against the heretics who despised it. Too, the book was a great help in answering the questions of those curious protestants who were in various degrees jealous of the liturgical beauty of the Roman Mass.

About the Author:
Our author, the son of a converted Anglican clergyman, was born in 1874. He was educated in England by the Jesuits and pursued further studies in Rome at the Scots College, finishing his theological courses at the University of Innsbruck. After ordination he was assigned various curateships, from one of which he managed to take a year sabbatical in Syria. Already a Hebraic scholar, here he perfected his fluency with the Arabic language. Fortescue was proficient in a variety of subjects including ecclesiastical history, Greek patrology, linguistics, dogmatic theology and, especially, liturgical history. In addition to these and many other subjects, he was a gifted choirmaster. Adrian Fortescue did much in his native country to publicly defend the papacy, specifically in one aspect, papal infallibility. Fortescue died young, age forty-nine, from cancer.
