{"product_id":"9781681490045","title":"A Bitter Trial: Evelyn Waugh and John Cardinal Heenan on the Liturgical Changes","description":"English author Evelyn Waugh, most famous for his novel Brideshead Revisited, became a Roman Catholic in 1930. For the last decade of his life, however, Waugh experienced the changes being made to the Church's liturgy to be nothing short of a bitter trial. In John Cardinal Heenan, Waugh found a sympathetic pastor and somewhat of a kindred spirit.\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together the personal correspondence between Waugh and Heenan during the 1960s, a trying period for many faithful Catholics. It begins with a 1962 article Waugh wrote for the Spectator followed by a response from then Archbishop Heenan, who at the time was a participant at the Second Vatican Council. These and the other writings included in this book paint a vivid picture of two prominent and loyal English Catholics who lamented the loss of Latin and the rupture of tradition that resulted from Vatican II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the light of the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI, many Catholics are looking again at the post-conciliar liturgical changes. To this reform of the reform of the liturgy now underway in the Roman Catholic Church, both Heenan and Waugh have much to contribute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ignatius Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139759489264,"sku":"9781681490045","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681490045_p0.jpg?v=1763693818","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681490045","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
