Turned Around: Replying to Common Objections Against the Traditional Latin Mass
Turned Around: Replying to Common Objections Against the Traditional Latin Mass
By Peter Kwasniewski, PhD · Published by TAN Books
Overview
This work addresses the most common objections raised against the Traditional Latin Mass and presents clear, reasoned responses that illuminate why its rites and practices resonate with Catholics across generations and cultures, and why they reflect the Church’s understanding of reverent worship anchored in history and doctrine. Drawing on tradition, liturgical theology, and the teaching of the Church’s magisterium, it turns challenges such as language, posture, ritual formality, and lectionary structure into opportunities to deepen appreciation for the spiritual richness of the Traditional Latin Mass. ([turn0search0]
Examines common objections to the Traditional Latin Mass and offers clear answers grounded in tradition and doctrine.
Explains why ancient liturgical practices such as facing East and Latin prayer have spiritual significance.

Intended Audience
This book is suited for Catholics who wish to understand and explain the Traditional Latin Mass with clarity and charity, for those navigating objections to the Vetus Ordo from within and outside the Church, and for readers seeking tradition-rooted apologetics that reinforce reverence for sacred liturgy.

Very Easy to Understand!

Absolutely loving the “Q&A” style of this book! It covers common questions such as “Why is the p…
“The public argument in favor of the Traditional Latin Mass has been waiting for a book that handles common objections thoroughly yet winsomely. This is that book. Other books examine at great length the historical, theological, and customary aspects of the old Mass, but those books are for the initiated. Turned Around is for newcomers and inquirers, particularly those who have been confused by stock arguments against the old Mass. The writing is clear, approachable, and often elegant. Any reader, no matter his current liturgical preference, will come away instructed, intrigued, and edified.”
Edward Feser, Professor of Philosophy, Pasadena City College
“It is a sign of the disorder of our times that many Catholics find that they have to defend—against fellow Catholics, of all people!—the Mass that for centuries molded the souls of so many saints and ordinary people alike. But that is where we are. Peter Kwasniewski’s Turned Around will contribute mightily to the restoration of liturgical and spiritual understanding.”
Eric Sammons, Editor of Crisis Magazine
“One of the few frustrations of attending the traditional Latin Mass is trying to explain its attractiveness to Catholics who only attend the new rite. Defending the TLM’s ‘foreignness’ to modern minds is a high barrier that’s difficult to overcome. In these pages, Dr. Kwasniewski not only ably accomplishes this task, he ‘turns around’ the common objections against the TLM to show that it’s the Mass of Ages that is truly at home in a fully Catholic worldview. ”
Cameron O’Hearn, Director of the Mass of the Ages Trilogy
“The most common objections to the TLM answered, once-and-for-all! Dr. Kwasniewski has crystallized centuries-old wisdom with his always persuasive prose and left us with a literary treasure. It might be the most convincing defense of the TLM I’ve ever read.”
