Catholic Liturgical Library
Current developments at Rome have renewed an interest in matters liturgical. I have chosen a few links which give information on different viewpoints. But to start with, a couple of sites giving helpful texts and information. Mentioned before in Faith Online, “Catholic Liturgical Library” is an excellent collection of texts and documents for rites, rubrics and liturgical law. The intention is to provide Catholics with accurate liturgical information.

Benedictine Liturgy
The Benedictine website has a collection of links to websites dealing with the calendar, Eastern liturgy, music and other general websites related to liturgy.

Adoremus
Adoremus is committed to authentic liturgical renewal as set out in Sacrosanctum Concilium. It has become well known as a campaigning group to restore beauty and sacredness to the liturgy. Adoremus is widely recognised as the leading voice in the liturgical movement for the “Reform of the Reform”.

Praise of Glory
Tending to the traditional side of the “Reform of the Reform”, this site gives a personal view with links to many useful articles on the liturgy.

The Music Makers
In 1996 three Catholic composers and musicians decided they'd join together to publish and promote new church music, principally for the Catholic liturgy. A particular objective was to add to the repertoire of "quality" Catholic music that upholds the traditions of the Church and is also loyal to the guidelines of Vatican II. The aim is to keep the music accessible to amateurs as well as professionals

We Believe
“We believe” is a volunteer organisation to promote liturgical reform. The website gives information and articles that promote what the group calls “Vatican II's vision of full, conscious and active participation in authentically enculturated worship.”

The Traditional Roman Rite
There are many sites which give information about the traditional Roman rite. One of the most balanced and informative is the Latin Mass Society in our own country. The international Una Voce site is also a reliable source. Both have a wealth of resources and information, including up to date analysis of developments from the Ecclesia Dei commission, practical guides to celebrating the “classical rite” and MS Word texts for making your own altar cards.

The Association for Latin Liturgy
The Association for Latin Liturgy was founded, under the patronage of the bishops of England and Wales, to encourage and extend the use of Latin in the liturgy of the Catholic Church. At the moment the site features Orate Frates, a new CD providing accurate pronunciation and singing of the new missal
