"Protons have mass." "Oh, really? I didn't know they were Catholic." Some Masses are so, uh, novel that one could say,  "Oh, really? I didn't know it was Catholic!"

What's permitted ... prohibited ... optional

James Akin has written a very useful book on the Mass. It is intended as a guide to the Church's law concerning the proper way to celebrate the liturgy ... what is permitted ... what is prohibited ... what is optional. He supports all explantions by referencing the appropriate liturgical regulations.

"James Akin has assembled texts that govern the Church's life of worship and has done so in 'user-friendly' sytle." — Very Rev. Peter M.J. Stravinskas
