It is their hope that the resources and reviews below will be useful in dissolving some of the painful conflict troubling the Church around the issue of the Sacred Liturgy. 

As early members of Ecclesia Dei Society in Australia, and as Dominicans devoted to the Liturgy, the use of Latin and monastic traditions (see Prayer and Observances tabs) they wanted to share some of the fruit of their study and discussion.
