Tuesday, July 28, 2020 – Again, because the basic primers on the Mass were so, well, massive (snort! See what I did there!?), we broke the re-cap into smaller chunks. Today’s chunk is a listing of the basic primers on the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. You know, the Latin stuff (that is apparently not Read More

Day 96 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on Church Architecture (Part II)
Saturday, June 20, 2020 – Today we are going to discuss the basic layout of a cruciform church. And by basic, I mean the most bare bones terms, starting with “direction.” Yes, I mean: North, South, East, and West. While many churches built today do not actually face East, traditionally Churches were built that way. Read More
Day 86 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVII)
Wednesday, June 10, 2020 – Today is going to be very short and blessedly not confusing. However, this section also has some choices. Thankfully they are not confusing. This is the final part of the Novus Ordo. For whatever reason, this part has been given its own section in the USCCB outline. I can only Read More
Day 85 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVI)
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 – Today we are going to focus on just the Communion part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is fairly similar to the Communion part of the Mass of the Faithful. Unfortunately, this is where we see a lot of the prayers from the Traditional Latin Mass left out. Anyhow, Read More
Day 84 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XV)
Monday, June 8, 2020 – Yesterday we started talking about the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Novus Ordo and saw that there was a lot missing in the New Mass vs. the Traditional Latin Mass in terms of the prayers said over the gifts. Today we continue with the Liturgy of the Eucharist: the Read More
Day 80 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XI)
Thursday, June 4, 2020 – Again, another day of last-minute TLM questions. I promise, however, that these are leading up to the new Mass. You can consider them “cross-over” questions, if you will, because they can be applied to either the old or the new. Why does the Priest face away from us? The Priest Read More
Day 79 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part X)
Wednesday, June 3, 2020 – Today (and tomorrow) we are going to answer some last-minute questions I have received over the years on the Traditional Latin Mass and a few “traditional” minded things surrounding the “old” Mass. A few may have already been answered in previous posts, so I apologize if I repeat…repeat…repeat myself. Bonus Read More
Day 76 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part VII)
Sunday, May 31, 2020 – Is it really the end of May!? My goodness! Anyhow, today we continue with our slow roll of the Traditional Latin Mass. Specifically, we are taking the second part of the Mass of the Faithful: the Consecration, also known as the “Canon.” Canon is derived from the Greek word meaning Read More
Day 74 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part VI)
Friday, May 29, 2020 – Now that we have talked about the Mass of the Catechumens, it is time to delve into the Mass of the Faithful. However, that is a mighty chunk to undertake, even for a super basic outline. Even the shortest of snippets for each part are going to be long for Read More
Day 73 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part V)
Thursday, May 28, 2020 – Today we are going to define some of the things happening during the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, also known as the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). A basic outline, if you will. This is a bit much to take in, so it is going to be a two-day affair. Today Read More
