Entry: The Folk Mass is Ended... Go in Peace Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_folk_mass_is_ended_go_in_peace#31939 Post contents: Michael Davies was a close personal friend of mine for many years. I met him in 1975 at Econe. He asked me to do an appendix for the first volume of his study, APOLOGIA PRO MARCEL LEFEBVRE, and later he visited me in North Carolina. As Thomas Woods states, quoting now Pope Benedict XVI, Michael Davies was a thinking son of the Church. His studies of the liturgy (three volumes) remain, along with the work of Fr. Adrian Fortescue, some of the finest writings around on the topic. While his analysis of the Vatican II's statement on religious liberty ("Dignitatis humanae") has received a critique from Fr. Brian Harrison, even Fr. Harrison would be the first to recognize the seriousness and merit of much of what he wrote (and admit that all is not clarity in that council document). In all, he loved the Church and was faithful to orthodoxy. Sent at: 2008 12 05
