Is the Novus Ordo Less Catholic Than the TLM? | Dr. Peter Kwasniewski
👉 Has modern Catholic worship lost its soul? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joins Conor Gallagher to ask a bold question: Is the Novus Ordo Mass less Catholic than the Traditional Latin Mass?They trace the sweeping liturgical changes since Vatican II, exploring how the Novus Ordo reshaped Catholic belief, reverence for the Eucharist, and the Church’s sense of sacred mystery. Dr. Kwasniewski argues that these reforms created a “Catholicism-lite” — a faith stripped of its symbolic depth, language of beauty, and theocentric focus.If you’ve ever wondered why so many Catholics are returning to the TLM — or how the Church can recover her lost reverence — this conversation offers historical insight, theological depth, and a hopeful vision for renewal.💲Use Coupon Code GLORIA40 and for a limited time get 40% OFF TAN Books on the TLM and the Sacred Liturgy: https://bit.ly/3J39pq8📖 TAN Books by Dr. Peter KwasniewskiTurned Around: Replying to Common Objections Against the Traditional Latin Mass https://bit.ly/4mSNgsnThe Once and Future Roman Rite: Returning to the Traditional Latin Liturgy after 70 Years of Exilehttps://bit.ly/4o1G9Q1Good Music, Sacred Music, and Silence: Three Gifts of God for Liturgy and for Lifehttps://bit.ly/47hJq7x👍 Like, Subscribe, or Follow The Conor Gallagher Show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/conorgallaghershowInstagram: https://instagram.com/conorgallaghershowTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@conorgallaghershowSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1qtdMK8FqjAQ3ODlFXCEYt?si=ae4598b16c1d4cdeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conor-gallagher-show/id1789476722CHAPTERS00:01 – Trailer04:42 – Significance of April 3, 196908:04 – Call for Return to Tradition12:49 – Historical Context of Liturgical Reform20:32 – Historical Changes in Liturgical Practices31:10 – Early Christian Worship Practices41:06 – The Ship of Theseus Analogy47:06 – The Need for Liturgical Stability54:19 – Theocentric vs. Anthropocentric Worship1:09:17 – The Shift in Liturgical Focus1:17:28 – Reverence for the Blessed Sacrament1:24:21 – Symbolism in Liturgical Practices1:52:01 – Intentions Behind Liturgical Changes2:01:13 – The Future of the Traditional Roman Rite#CatholicPodcast #TraditionalLatinMass #NovusOrdo #PeterKwasniewski #CatholicFaith #Liturgy #VaticanII #Eucharist #ConorGallagherShow #Catholicism #ReturnToTradition
