Disputed Questions

The Theological Notion of the Paschal Mystery Before the Second Vatican Council, neo-Modernists developed a new theology on Redemption. It characterized Redemption as a paschal mystery centered on Easter rather than as a payment of sin on the Cross. In this critical volume, Fr. Calderon masterfully distills the problems of post-Vatican II ecclesiastical and liturgical theology into four key questions. By doing so, he guides readers through the necessarily dense but important issues concerning the Mass while correcting and refuting modernist errors. His use of Thomistic reasoning demonstrates powerfully how philosophically and theologically flawed the contemporary Catholic Church’s ecclesiastical worldview remains and why its tenets cannot stand up to serious scrutiny.  “The fundamental question of the reform of the Mass is discussed here under three aspects: theological, liturgical, and pastoral. Combining rigorous thought with forceful expression, these essays propose a lucid vision of the current crisis.”—Fr. Álvaro Calderón   Softback  76 pp.
