During the 2019 Catholic Family News conference on the theme The New Mass: Fifty Years of Problems, CFN Editors Brian McCall and Matt Gaspers conducted interviews of some of the invited speakers. We are beginning to release those interviews. In each one the speakers discuss their personal history with the Traditional Mass. We are happy to release our first interview which is with long time friend of CFN, Dr. Andrew Childs. In this interview, Dr. Childs shares the story of his conversion to Traditional Catholicism following a wide ranging spiritual journey. Dr. Child’s conference, New Music for a New Mass (and all the other 2019 conferences) can be downloaded from our online store . If you purchase a download you will be able to listen to the conference in minutes!
