Catholic World Report Column: An “ad orientem” Church in an age of horizontalism

March 22, 2022

There is no way that our current “liturgy wars” can be resolved until we once again become a Church that lives the entirety of its life as an “ad orientem” Church.

This essay linked below marks the debut of a regular CWR column by me over at Catholic World Report. Titled “Chapp’s Schtick”, the column will feature my commentary on a range of current issues, with a particular focus on theological controversies, cultural conflicts, and ecclesial debates.

Here is the link to the first article.

Enjoy!
