The Heresy of Formlessness: The Roman Liturgy and Its Enemy (German: Häresie der Formlosigkeit. Die römische Liturgie und ihr Feind) is an essay collection by the German writer Martin Mosebach. Mosebach, a Traditionalist Catholic, writes about the importance of liturgy and argues in favour of a mass revival of the Tridentine Mass in Ecclesiastical Latin, while criticizing the Mass of Paul VI in the vernacular as an expression of religious and cultural decline.[1]
Publication
Karolinger Verlag in Vienna published the first version of the book in 2002. A new version, expanded with three essays, was published by Carl Hanser Verlag in Munich in 2007.[2]
