In this talk, Catholic attorney and author Christopher Ferrara unveils the connections between Pope Paul VI, Jacques Maritain, Saul Alinsky, and the agenda behind the Novus Ordo Missae. Mr. Ferrara gave this presentation at our 2019 Conference, “The New Mass: Fifty Years of Problems”, held in the Chicago area.

This lecture is particularly significant in light of recent news about the “imminent reform” of Summorum Pontificum by Pope Francis (see here, here, and here) — that is, an attempt to make access to the Traditional Latin Mass more restricted and difficult. A few months prior to CFN’s 2019 Conference, Mr. Ferrara wrote an important article about the then-recent suppression of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei (PCED) in which he stated, “I believe that the suppression of the PCED is the prelude to an attempted reversal of the Latin Mass revival launched by Benedict XVI’s historic Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum (SP).”
