I’ve recently attended Tridentine mass for the first time and found it spiritually moving enough that it will now likely be my preferred mass. After doing a little research I decided to look for Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s 1961 Sunday missal, but now that I understand some of the translations could be questionable and he may not have been much of a supporter of the Latin mass I’m wondering if there are any other good Sunday Missals of the era I could be looking for. I would like something with a similar format to the Sheen missal with full Latin and English translation side by side. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. And Happy Easter to all!

Baronius Press 1962 Missal.
 
My preference is the Angeles Press 1962 Missal. I, also, have almost a dozen others from various publication dates. Most of these “others” do not have the latin Propers. Only the english. Recently got the Campion Missal. Its beautiful and inexpensive but too much book to handle in the pew. Perhaps with a good set of ribbons it will work fine.

I haven’t used the Baronius Press missal as yet.

Angelus Press hands down

AFAIK, the Latin in all the handmissals is authentic and the same, unless someone wants to quibble about the 2nd confiteors and such. So basically it boils down to personal preference in fonts, miscellaneous prayers, new feast days, and the unofficial translations. De gustibus non est disputandum.
 
I recommend the Baronius Press missal only because Angelus Press is owned by the SSPX.

Nice swipe at Roman Catholic clergy on Easter.

Cardinal George of the Archdiocese of Chicago doesn’t share your opinion, nor do the Cannons Regular of St John Cantius parish. The CR sell the Angelus version on their excellent website I linked to.

I see that they see Venerable Sheen’s book “The World’s First Love” on their site. 👍

They can’t be all that bad. 😃
 
For the heck of it I just ordered a 1960 copy of the St. Joseph’s Missal because I was tired of searching online and in local stores and this looked like a nice copy. Will post in a few weeks once I’ve received it with the opinion of my likely overpriced purchase. The Easter Tridentine high mass was very beautiful yesterday by the way. Once I’ve convinced my grandparents I’m not attending a “breakaway parish’s” mass I’ll get them to join me. All Catholics should attend this mass; this is what our religion is about. I’ve never attended an Easter mass with the pews so empty as they were yesterday. Such a shame.
