For any Latin Mass lover like myself, I would like to recommend the novel Catholics by Brian Moore. The blurb reads:

"In the not too distant future, the Fourth Vatican Council has abolished private confession, clerical dress and the Latin Mass, and opened discussion about a merger with Buddhism. Authorities in Rome are embarrassed by publicity surrounding a group of monks who stubbornly celebrate the old Mass in their island abbey off the coast of Ireland. The clever, assured Father James Kinsella is dispatched to set things right. At Muck Abbey he meets Abbot Tomas, a man plagued by doubt who nevertheless leads his monks in the old ways. In the hands of the masterly Brian Moore their confrontation becomes a subtle, provocative parable of doubt and faith."

The Loyola Press edition is only 132 pages, albeit almost double spaced, so it will only take an evening to read. Bear in mind however the words of a former lecturer in Church History who said that "in a monastery it is fidelity to the Rule alone which matters, nothing else" and "in a monastery there are often monks who have lost their faith or never had any to begin with."
