A Bitter Trial - Evelyn Waugh and John Carmel Cardinal Heenan on the Liturgical Changes (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)

For the last decade of his life, Evelyn Waugh experienced the changes being made to the Church's liturgy to be nothing short of "a bitter trial". In Cardinal Heenan he found a sympathetic pastor and a kindred spirit. This volume makes available the previously unpublished correspondence between these prominent Catholics, revealing in both an incisive disquiet. Includes as an appendix the Oxford Declaration on Liturgy.
