Traditional Latin Mass Sunday Missal with Kyriale (Kindle Edition)
Patrimonium Publishing, Sydney, 2013; $5.85; also available in Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Traditional Latin Mass Ordinary and Kyriale (Kindle Edition)
Patrimonium Publishing, Sydney, 2013; $3.99.

At the price, any traditionalist Kindle-owner should have one.

Editorial: Oriens Revivified

17 June, 2014 0 Comments

Welcome to the reborn Oriens website.

I would like to express profound thanks to our founding Editor, Gary Scarrabelotti. Gary is standing down after many years at the helm of both Oriens and the Oriens Foundation; he was one of the founders of the Ecclesia Dei Society in 1989, and editor of its newsletter, which became Oriens in 1995.

I’m sure readers will join me in expressing the gratitude of the traditionalist community for this vital work, so useful in reminding us that even in a smallish country in an unfashionable hemisphere, we are not alone in our legitimate attachment to the liturgical traditions of the Catholic Church.
