Good Video on Catholic Liturgical Crisis

I've read several books and articles dealing with the problem of the New Mass of the Roman Rite. Many of these works assail the New Mass and its "innovations" as originating only in the 1960's. Many of these works are written in a caustic tone, and expressly uphold the Tridentine Latin Mass as far superior in every way to the New Mass.

These two videos, together forming a single production, do a great job in laying down the theological foundation for the changes made to the Mass--or rather, the introduction of a New Mass--following Vatican II. The producer of these videos is neither polemical nor triumphalist in his presentation of the divergences of the New Mass from the traditional Mass of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.
