let the title fool you! This book is packed with essential
liturgical knowledge that any Catholic interested in better understanding
the traditional Roman Liturgy (1962) would appreciate!
Covering
the basic rules or principles that govern the rubrics of
the Roman Rite (e.g., how to genuflect and when),
this booklet shows how the characteristic of romanitas
effects the various intricacies of the sacred ceremonies.
