b>Pope John's Council Liturgical Revolution: Vol. II by Michael Davies Your long wait is over. Finally, Volume Two of the Liturgical Revolution series, Pope John's Council, has returned. For those who have read it, it is already a classic. Few books can rival its clarity and objectivity. An incredible pattern emerges: a pastoral Council hijacked by a clique of theological liberals who consign to the trash the documents of the Council Preparatory Committee (of which Archbishop Lefebvre was a member), shut off the microphones of those who attempt to defend the Faith (suffering this indignity was no less than the illustrious Cardinal Ottaviani), and co-opting the media so that their spin became "reality"? Michael Davies spent the last year of his life updating this book. Indispensable to understanding Vatican Council II.

Extensively revised and nearly doubled in length, and also newly enriched with dozens of historical illustrations, this second edition of Cranmer's Godly Order is in effect a new book. Wth greater documentation and detail than ever, Davies traces the steps by which the ancient Catholic Mass became the Lord's Supper in the Church of England - and shows how those changes were directly inspired by the Reformers' fundamental theological differences with the Church of Rome. The original 1976 edition of Cranmer, and of Vols. II and III in Davies' Liturgical Revolution trilogy (which includes Pope John's Council and Pope Paul's New Mass, drew the highest praise from critics: "This monumental work should be read by all serious students of the contemporary malaise of the Church." - Paul Hallett, National Catholic Register "The most brilliant polemicist on the 'right' is Michael Davies . . . his masterpiece is The Liturgical Revolution." - Larry Henderson, The Catholic Register (Canada) "This book is a masterpiece." - Introibo, France "An unbiased, clear, logically coordinated and scholarly account . . . unlikely to be superseded for many years to come." - The Bulletin, (Malta) "A balanced, cool appraisal based not on conjecture but on fact. . . I recommend it without reserve." - Paul Crane, S.J., Christian Order

This book has the modest aim of explaining why Modernism is the most dangerous of all heresies, and the steps taken by St. Pius X to suppress it. The author rarely refers to the contemporary Church, and yet on page after page the reader will cry out: But this is just what is happening today! Those who read this book will know all they need to know about Modernism, and will certainly understand why they have a duty to help defend the Faith against it.

Davies was born to Cyril and Annie (née Garnworthy) Davies. His father, a Welshman, was a Baptist, and his mother, who was English, was an Anglican.
From 1992 to 2004 he was the president of the international Traditionalist Catholic organisation Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce and was responsible for the unification of Una Voce America. Davies was brought up in Yeovil, Somerset, but proud of his Welsh descent. He served as a regular soldier in the Somerset Light Infantry during the Malayan Emergency, the Suez Crisis, and the EOKA campaign in Cyprus.
While initially he was a supporter of the Second Vatican Council, he became critical of the liturgical changes that followed in its wake, which he argued were a result of distortions and misreadings of the Second Vatican Council"s mandates for liturgical reform.
William Doctorate. Dinges, Professor of Religion and Culture at The Catholic University of America, described Davies as "nternationally, one of the most prolific traditionalist apologists". Davies was a critic of the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje, which he believed to be false.
Davies died on 25 September 2004, aged 68, following a battle with cancer and was buried in the churchyard of Saint Mary"s, Chislehurst, Kent.
