About this episode

The episode discusses the true implications of Vatican II on the Mass and its future.

What did Vatican II really say about the Mass? Sacrosanctum Concilium called for the preservation of Latin, gave Gregorian chant pride of place, and emphasized continuity with the Church’s liturgical tradition. Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Gerald Murray and Robert Royal examine what the Council actually prescribed, what changed afterward, and what Pope Leo XIV’s recent comments could mean for the future of the Mass. 👉 Subscribe to  Arroyo Grande  for in-depth conversations on culture, faith, art, and meaning.
