Since 2020, there has been a
massive increase in attendance at
Latin Mass parishes, particularly
among young people and men.

What has caused this change?

Why are men drawn to
the traditional Latin Mass?

In this razor-sharp book,
acclaimed radio host and author
Jesse Romero answers those questions
and more, showing how the traditional
liturgy equips men especially to put on the
armor of Christ and fight the daily
spiritual battle for souls.

Drawing from his background in
law enforcement (LAPD) and spiritual
warfare (busiest and most dynamic speaker
on this subject), Romero reveals why the
traditional Latin Mass spoke to him in
such a powerful way and transformed
his spiritual life.

He describes how the
implementation of the new Mass in
the 1970s, with its emotionalism and
horizontal focus, led men in particular to
lose their zeal — and how the manner in
which they worship God is central to
restoring that fervor.

Romero breaks down
exactly why men find their
natural and supernatural home at
the traditional Mass, highlighting:

The sacrificial nature of the TLM and how the actions of the Mass express each step of the Passion

The liturgy’s appeal to intellect over emotion

The power of silence in embracing mystery and instilling reverence

How the TLM is Christocentric rather anthropocentric (man-centered) and why this is the proper orientation toward the divine

Romero includes select essays
from priests on the efficacy of traditional
prayers and firsthand testimonies from powerful
Catholic men of today, including top NFL kicker
Harrison Butker, UFC Hall of Famer Bas
Rutten, and Navy SEAL Charlie Aeschliman,
who have found solace and purpose in
the traditional liturgy.

As contributor Kyle Clement,
a rancher, husband, and father puts it:
“Part of the masculine disposition is a desire
for ritual and fraternity — ritual meaning order.
The Holy Roman Mass in the Tridentine form
is ordered, and it is order that lifts
the soul toward Heaven.”

In the midst of a culture that
distorts authentic masculinity and
femininity, the timeless teachings of the
Catholic Church, as expressed through
her traditional liturgy, stand
steadfastly in the fray.

What Attracts Men to the
Sacred Liturgy — and Why gives men
insight into how the liturgy is the wellspring
of their vocations, the source of their
strength, and the fullest expression
of the truth worth dying for.
