Home -> The Catholic Sanctuary

From the back cover of the booklet, available in its entirety from TAN Books:

In this very important little book, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing thesis that Vatican II and Post-Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the tabernacle from the main altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary - nor even Mass facing the people! In the process, he quotes the relevant passages in Church documents, making this a most valuable little handbook for those fighting the "updating" of the sanctuary in their parish church.

The following essential chapters are provided on this web-page:

• Not Mandated by Vatican II
