Escaping the Closed Circle: Why in the TLM the Epistle Is Read Eastwards and the Gospel Northwards - Dr. Peter Kwasniewski



This is a fantastic lecture on the reasons for the directions of proclamations of the Epistle and Gospel of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). I took the liberty to create bookmarks on the topics for your convenience and sharing purposes, but the whole lecture was very well written and delivered beautifully. I appreciate the work that DPK is doing for tradition and I am sad that it currently only stands at 1500 views. These lectures should have as many views as Mass of the Ages, IMO. It's easy to get excited about documentaries because their nature is to summarize. Catholics need to delve deeper.

Enjoy.
