Houghton's novel proves, if anything, more germane, more humorous, and more thought-provoking than when it first appeared in 1979.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoughton, Bryan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - BRYAN HOUGHTON (1911-1992), of Anglican background, was received into the Catholic Church in Paris in 1934 and ordained a priest on March 30, 1940. Throughout the 1960s he found himself increasingly at odds with the self-styled \"reformers\" who, in the name of Vatican II, were wreaking havoc in the Church. On the day the Novus Ordo Missae went into effect-November 29, 1969, the first Sunday of Advent-he resigned from his pastorship at Bury St Edmunds, refusing to celebrate with the new missal. Drawing on his inheritance, he purchased a property with a chapel in the region of Viviers in the south of France and, with his bishop's consent, continued to offer the Tridentine Mass for a small congregation until his death on November 19, 1992. He wrote two novels, Mitre and Crook and Judith's Marriage, a collection of essays, Unwanted Priest, and a children's book, Saint Edmund, King and Martyr.","brand":"Angelico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50369238270226,"sku":"9781621384960","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dc4dd434-d6be-4c1f-8bb2-4a6bb18309b4.jpg?v=1728523959","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mitre-and-crook-catholic-traditionalist-classics-9781621384960","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
