How to use this website
Begin by reading the Q & A. There you will learn the basics. The information in questions 1 - 3 is based on Church documents, especially the Church's main document on liturgical abuse, Redemptionis Sacramentum. Questions 4 - 6 are primarily based on the Roman Missal and the General Instruction of the Roman Missal or GIRM. These sections will help you to know what one is authorized to add, remove and change in the liturgy. Knowing this will give you a better idea of what cannot be changed.
​
Next, do your research in Resources, beginning with Church Documents. There you will find online sources for the Roman Missal, the GIRM, and other Church documents. Compare what you experience at Mass with what is in the documents. Some Catholic organizations may already have an article discussing the issue in which you are interested. You will find some of these websites listed in Other Resources. You might also find some helpful information in Articles of Interest.
