In this interview, Matt talks with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski—author, lecturer, scholar and composer—about his (Dr. Kwasniewski's) first experience with the Traditional Latin Mass, and how it deeply impacted him and changed his understanding of what the Mass is all about. The conversation also touches on the beauty (and importance of) sacred music, the impacts of Vatican II upon the Church, and much, much more.
