For the last decade of his life, however, Waugh experienced the changes being made to the Church's liturgy to be nothing short of a bitter trial. In John Cardinal Heenan, Waugh found a sympathetic pastor and somewhat of a kindred spirit. This volume brings together the personal correspondence between Waugh and Heenan during the 1960s, a trying period for many faithful Catholics. It begins with a 1962 article Waugh wrote for the Spectator followed by a response from then Archbishop Heenan, who at the time was a participant at the Second Vatican Council. These and the other writings included in this book paint a vivid picture of two prominent and loyal English Catholics who lamented the loss of Latin and the rupture of tradition that resulted from Vatican I. In the light of the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI, many Catholics are looking again at the post-conciliar liturgical changes. To this reform of the reform of the liturgy now underway in the Roman Catholic Church, both Heenan and Waugh have much to contribute.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729705148689,"sku":"NGR9780262042741","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50807423500561,"sku":"CIN0262042746G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262042746.jpg?v=1750940428"},{"product_id":"buddha-mind-in-contemporary-art-book-jacquelynn-baas-9780520243460","title":"Buddha Mind in Contemporary Art","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe fate of the world as at stake in this lavishly illustrated masterwork from manga supergroup CLAMP\u0026gt;\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eX\u003c\/i\u003e, the epic series from CLAMP, is now available in this deluxe collector's edition.

In an informative and perceptive introduction and essays on twenty well-known artists, Jacquelynn Baas analyzes how the teachings of the Buddha offered alternatives to Western intellectual conceptions of art and traces the various ways this inspiration materialized in artworks. The influence of Buddhism on art from the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the present has been greater than historians and critics generally recognize, Baas claims. Considering essential questions about the relationship of art and life, this timely and beautifully illustrated book expands our perspective on how spirituality and creativity inspire and inform one another. Baas's insights and the images she presents give the reader a new understanding and appreciation of a diverse array of Western artworks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331302162705,"sku":"CIN0520242084A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51455922241809,"sku":"CIN0520242084VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52946413289745,"sku":"CIN0520242084G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0520242084.jpg?v=1751008268"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jacquelynn-baas.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
