The Rising in the Vendee
by Michael Davies
It is a matter of regret that very few English-speaking Catholics know anything whatsoever about the events that took place in the Vendee region of France during the French Revolution of 1789.
The aim of this book is to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II to the Vendee, where the people remained faithful to the Vicar of Christ and attached to their parishes and their priests, in spite of the cruelty of persecution to which they were subjected during the French Revolution. There is no more noble or inspiring story in the history of the Church than that of the heroic struggle of the people of the Vendee to defend their altars and their King.

The Catholic Sanctuary
And the Second Vatican Council
by Michael Davies
And the Second Vatican Council
by Michael Davies
In this important pocket-size booklet, Michael Davies sets forth the amazing but accurate thesis that Vatican II and the Post–Vatican II legislation did not mandate any changes in the Catholic sanctuary: that is, they did not mandate moving the Tabernacle from the central point in the altar, nor placing a chair in the middle of the sanctuary, nor even switching Mass to "face the people."
Filled with quotes from the relevant passages of the actual Church documents, this valuable little handbook is a wonderful aid for those trying to educate upon, discuss, and fight against a modernist update of the sanctuary in a parish Church.
Michael Davies also shows the striking similarity between the destruction of altars in the 16th century by Protestant "Reformers" and today's destruction of altars and sanctuaries by modernist reformers. This booklet is a bestseller and an eye-opener to unsanctioned changes in the structure of the sanctuary.

Cranmer's Godly Order
Cranmer's Godly Order
Liturgical Revolution: Vol. I
by Michael Davies
Cranmer's Godly Order is a classic . . . revised and expanded by Mr. Davies during his final years. Drawing upon the best of Catholic and Protestant scholarship and on primary sources, Davies traces the steps by which the ancient Catholic Mass became the Lord's Supper in the Church of England. And these steps were changes - as Popes and Reformers alike were at pains to stress. Michael Davies shows that Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer understood that if you change the way people pray, then you will change what they believe. Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer (1549) began a process that changed the Catholic Church in England to the Anglican sect. Davies compares these changes to the modern liturgical "reforms" and the similarities are shocking.
Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII and Edward VI and architect of the new liturgy, was a master of the theology of the Mass, and hated it. The parallels between the Anglican liturgy and the New Mass of the 1960s will be uncomfortably obvious!
This book forms volume one of Davies's Liturgical Revolution series. Nowhere will you find a more thorough example of the axiom Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi est - "As you pray, so will you believe."

The Destruction of Catholicism Through Liturgical Change
The Order of Melchisidech
The Order of Melchisedech
A Defense of the Catholic Priesthood
by Michael Davies
On 30 June 1968, pope Paul VI pronounced his Credo in which the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass "celebrated by the priest in the Person of Christ in virtue of the power he received in the Sacrament of Order" was very clearly, unambiguously, and correctly expressed. Twelve days earlier, Pope Paul VI had signed the Apostolic Constitution in which he approved and imposed the new ritual of the ordination of deacon, priest, and bishop. In this book the author examines the new rite of ordination to the priesthood and exposes its differences with the former one used in the Roman rite for a number of centuries, enjoying the highest authority.
There can be no doubt of the validity of the New Rite but there are certain features which the author deplores. A number of prayers and ceremonies have been suppressed which, in the Old Rite, served clearly to express the most essential character and duty of priesthood: to offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a sign of a tendency which can be observed in other official liturgical innovations (not to mention illegal ones). It is a matter of great concern for many Catholics that this and similar things are done at a time when the sacrificial character of what is now commonly called the "celebration of the Eucharist" is questioned or even denied by many who do not leave the Catholic Church.
Mr. Davies gives an impressive exposition of the facts and the meaning he attaches to them in the light of Trent, the Pontifical letter Apostolicae Curae of Pope Leo XIII, other official documents, and also the Canterbury Declaration on Ministry and Ordination in the Anglican and Catholic Churches. He rightly rejects the latter completely as a totally ambiguous document.
This is a rich and scholarly book which should be in the hands of all who study post-conciliar developments in the official Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Christ.

Pope Paul's New Mass
Pope Paul's New Mass
Liturgical Revolution: Vol. III
by Michael Davies
Pope Paul's New Mass is the third and final book of the Liturgical Revolution trilogy. It is the unparalleled history of how the New Mass was devised, created, and implemented. Beyond this, a list of the manifold liturgical problems of the past generation is documented: from Mass facing the people and revolutionary legislation to Communion in the hand and the problem of the Offertory. For over thirty years this book has been considered the most thorough critique of the New Mass in the English language. Michael Davies, former president of Una Voce, was one of the earliest critics of the liturgical changes in the Mass after Vatican II. Archbishop Lefebvre recommended many of his early works, including the most comprehensive documentation and defense of the foundation of the SSPX: Apologia Pro Marcel Lefevbre (in three volumes). The current president of Una Voce is Mr. Leo Darroch.
By the mid-1970s the crisis within the Church was deepening. In his general research on the various novelties that were being introduced he had amassed a huge amount of data on the Council and how the great majority of the Fathers had been deceived by the well-orchestrated plan of a clique of European bishops and their liturgical advisers. Michael Davies argued that the Church's attempted headlong rush into unity with other Christian bodies would, in fact, have the adverse effect to that being proclaimed and was leading swiftly to its decline. Thus was born his great trilogy, Liturgical Revolution. His first volume, Cranmer's Godly Order (1976), examined the Protestant Reformation, what happened and why. His second work, Pope John's Council (1977), was written to provide an objective and documented explanation of the fact that the Church in the West is disintegrating and that the responsibility for this disintegration must be laid at the door of the Second Vatican Council. His third volume, Pope Paul's New Mass (1980), provided a detailed examination of the development of the Roman rite, the liturgical legislation pouring out from the Vatican during and after the Council, the prayers and rubrics of the new rite of Mass, and the devastating impact of the changes on the Church throughout the world.
Benedict XVI, on the Death of Michael Davies, "I have been profoundly touched by the news of the death of Michael Davies. I had the good fortune to meet him several times and I found him to be a man of deep faith and ready to embrace suffering. Ever since the Council he put all his energy into the service of the Faith and left us important publications especially on the sacred liturgy. Even though he suffered from the Church in many ways in his time, he always truly remained a man of the Church. He knew that the Lord founded His Church on the rock of Peter and that the Faith can find its fullness and maturity only in union with the successor of St. Peter. Therefore we can be confident that the Lord opened wide for him the gates of Heaven. We commend his soul to the Lord's mercy." Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, 2004

Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre
Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre
by Michael Davies
Mr. Davies defends Archbishop Lefebvre and his battle for the Faith during the crucial battles of the 1970's and early 1980's. These books are full of documentation and poignant analysis. The historical value of these works, from the pen of the man who declared at the First Annual Walter Matt Memorial Dinner (January, 2004), "Archbishop Lefebvre is a Saint," cannot be overestimated.
Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Volume I - This book is certainly one of great historical value. Portrays the dramatic conflict relating to the grievances between Archbishop Lefebvre and the Vatican under Pope Paul VI. Depicts the role of one who had the foresight to recognize that he could not defend orthodoxy and at the same time accept reforms "themselves oriented towards the cult of man." Completely documented. 496 pages
Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Volume II - This volume covers the story of Archbishop Lefebvre's relations with the Vatican up to the end of 1979. The negotiations between the Archbishop and the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith form the principal feature of the book. 416 pages
Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Volume III - Covers 1979-1982, the beginning of the pontificate of John Paul II. Davies records many of the Holy Father's directives, how they were opposed by the Bishops, and why it was necessary for Archbishop Lefebvre and the SSPX to avoid all compromise in preserving Catholic Truth. Completes the series by considering Abp. Lefebvre within the broader perspective of the crisis in the Church. 496 pages

Pope John's Council
Liturgical Revolution: Vol. II
by Michael Davies
For those who have read it, it is already a classic. Few books can rival the clarity and objectivity of Pope John's Council. An incredible pattern emerges: a pastoral Council hijacked by a clique of theological liberals who consign to trash the documents of the Council Preparatory Committee (of which Archbishop Lefebvre was a member), shut off the microphones of those who attempt to defend the Faith (suffering this indignity was no less than the illustrious Cardinal Ottaviani), and co-opting the media so that their spin became "reality"?
Michael Davies spent the last year of his life updating this book. Indispensable to understanding Vatican Council II.

Saint Athanasius
Saint Athanasius
Defender of the Faith
by Michael Davies
"The whole world groaned and was amazed to find itself Arian." So cried Saint Jerome. Athanasius was in exile (again), a compromised Pope occupied the Chair of Peter, hardly a bishop had the courage to confront Constantius. Twelve different creeds were competing for the allegiance of Christians; the Nicean Creed was forbidden.
The true Faith was being upheld by laymen, inspired by Athanasius, who held fast to what their bishops had taught them even though those same bishops had abandoned it by now.
Are there modern-day parallels in the Church and Her Churchmen?
Michael Davies' book provides a fascinating insight into one of the most troubled periods in the history of the Church and the life of one of Her greatest saints. Documents the facts on the "Fall of Pope Liberius," who confirmed the excommunication of Saint Athanasius, and signed an ambiguous formula of doubtful orthodoxy.
Mr. Davies reminds us that the Faith is not served by explaining away historical facts, but in understanding them in the light of Catholic teaching. The fact that the Church survives every crisis with the integrity of Her doctrinal teaching intact is a dramatic testimony to Her divine origin and the necessity of Athanasian perseverance.

"The synthesis of all heresies" - Pope St Pius X (Pascendi)
by Michael Davies
Developed from a lecture delivered to Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by the late Michael Davies.
Prior to Vatican II, 80% of young people leaving Catholic schools practised the faith, today, 3% do. The much vaunted New Pentecost is seemingly no quite so awesome as the first.
This catastrophic collapse is primarily the result of the heresy of Modernism, which has seeped into the Church's blood stream like AIDs, sapping her vitality and reducing her to a shadow of her former self.
Since Vatican II, with one or two honourable exceptions, Western sees have been filled by Rome with dreary, vacuous, bog-standard Modernists. Under the leadership of these men, Christ Body in the British Isles, and elsewhere, has simply haemorrhaged away?
It is also no coincidence that the horribly sex-abuse scandals, mostly perpetrated by predatory sodomites, occurred on their watch.
To cure a disease, one must first understand it. In this booklet, Michael Davies uses his scholarship to lucidly expose the nature of this deadly virus in terms that all can understand. By Graham Moorhouse Chairman, PEEP

The Reign of Christ the King
The Reign of Christ the King
in Both Public and Private Life
by Michael Davies
In December of 1925, Pope Pius XI declared the answer to this simple question—Pax Christi in Regno Christi (The peace of Christ is in the kingdom of Christ).
His idea was clear: our world is chaotic and hopeless because man does not recognize the sovereignty of Christ. Christ’s kingly authority has been largely ignored by social and political groups, and even the Church has failed to properly proclaim this great truth.
God’s law is higher than any human law; His justice is beyond our comprehension. Jesus Christ is King of the Universe and ruler of all things—but how often do our political or private actions acknowledge this reality?
Author Michael Davies explores all the places where the sovereignty of Christ has been ignored or attacked. Some of the places he points to include our modern understanding of rights, our laws and conventions, and our social and political ideologies.
In order to combat the rebellion against Jesus’s sovereignty, Michael Davies explains how we can correctly submit to Jesus’s authority in every part of our lives. Most importantly, he will show you the importance of the Feast of Christ the King and the many other ways we can participate in defending Christ’s kingdom.
The honest and brilliant writing of Michael Davies makes this booklet an exciting read, as well as a manual to help diagnose and treat the many issues of our modern-day life.
“For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king.” (Isaias 33:22)

The Roman Rite Destroyed
The Roman Rite Destroyed
by Michael Davies
Twenty-five years ago when this work first was published, its purpose was to prove to the skeptic that the Roman Rite of Mass was in fact being dismantled. Its advertising copy asked, "The Roman Rite destroyed?" as though to surprise its reader. Over a generation later, the first-time readers of The Roman Rite Destroyed, who most probably have known only the New Order of Mass (i.e., the Novus Ordo Missae), have little or no memory of the Tridentine Latin Mass of the Roman rite which predated it. They are living proof that the Roman rite of the Latin Mass has been destroyed.
The newest readers of this small work are perhaps faintly aware of the Mass of their parents and grandparents. What was the Latin Mass? How was it destroyed? Why was it destroyed? Who led its destruction? Can the Novus Ordo Mass that replaced the Tridentine Mass be both similar and superior to it at the same time?
Learn why the Old and New Masses are not similar, and why the New Mass can only be superior to the Old in its consistency with the movement of the Conciliar Church towards a common liturgy with non-Catholics, which is the reason why, says the author, the Old was disposed of, and the New proposed and then imposed.
