In this groundbreaking book, Robert Cardinal Sarah, longtime prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship, joins with Peter Carter, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, to dive into the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music, tracing it from the Church’s earliest days all the way through the Second Vatican Council and beyond. The cardinal minces no words in critiquing the liturgical confusion of our times, which has touched every corner of the Church. Yet he returns always to the true center: not aesthetics, but the beautiful person of Christ Himself, God incarnate.
