Hull, Geoffrey.
The Banished Heart : origins of heteropraxis in the Catholic Church / - London ; T. & T. Clark - xiv, 383 p. ; 24 cm.
"T&T Clark Studies in Fundamental Liturgy offer leading scholarship from all disciplines related to liturgical study. The books in the series seek to reintegrate biblical, patristic, historical, dogmatic and philosophical questions with liturgical study in ways faithful and sympathetic to classical liturgical enquiry. Volumes in the series include monographs, translations of recent texts and edited collections around very specific themes. The series is edited by Susan Frank Parsons and Laurence Paul Hemming of the Society of St. Catherine of Siena" "T̀his book is an eloquently written, passionate and scholarly account of the secularisation and desacralisation of the Roman Catholic liturgy from the 1960s. The impoverishment of the liturgy through the sacrifice of two thousand years of symbolism, and the loss of the dimension of mystery in the name of didacticism and man-centredness, are also strikingly described as rooted in a reaction against the defects and rigidities of an overcentralised and authoritarian pre-Vatican II Catholicism. The author gives a detailed and authoritative narrative of the destruction of traditions held in common by Latin Christians and the Eastern Orthodox and of the disgraceful persecution by Latin liberals of Eastern Rite Christians in communion with Rome. Far from being a simply reactionary work, appealing to an imaginary golden age before the 1960s this book is an historically-informed challenge to restore the very God-centred character of the liturgy itself.' Sheridan Gilley, Durham University, UK".
