A future in Tradition - Remembering Michael Davies
Aurelio Porfiri
Verlag: Chorabooks
Beschreibung
This little work by Aurelio Porfiri is full of love, respect, and insight. It contains a precious interview that the author conducted with Davies back in 2001, which, for circumstantial reasons, never saw the light of day. Pieces like this complete our picture of the man, the times in which he lived, and the cause for which he struggled. Dr. Peter A. Kwasniewski (From the Foreword) This book is not meant to provoke a liturgical war; that is not my intention. I just think that Michael Davies was an important part in the development of what we call (improperly) the traditionalist world, a world that I am certainly not eager to idealize or even to see as benign. I am aware of the shortcomings (and there are many) that are present among many traditionalists, but I can also see the legitimate reasons behind most of their protests. The situation of the Church is very harrowing and can no longer be hidden or denied. Aurelio Porfiri (from the Introduction)
