Why does the liturgy matter? In part one of this two-part series, Joe Stopulos welcomes Fr. Trevor Chicoine, the Diocese's Episcopal Vicar for Divine Worship, to the studio for a deep dive into the theology and practice of Catholic liturgy.
Fr. Chicoine shares his own path from seminarian to liturgical scholar — including his licentiate studies in Rome — and explains why the Mass is the "supreme prayer of the Church." Joe and Fr. Chicoine cover practical, everyday questions every Catholic man has wondered about, including:
- The difference between genuflecting and bowing — and when to do each
- Why the altar becomes the center of focus once Mass begins
- The Church's teaching on sacred music, Gregorian chant, and the pipe organ
- Why beauty and reverence in worship draw souls to Christ
- Encouragement for the congregation to sing — even if you can't carry a tune
Part two of this conversation continues next week on Man Up.
