The Latin Mass Society of New Zealand
Fr Denzil Meuli: An Extraordinary Priest
Pa Meuli Piriti Inati
Author: Diane Joan Taylor
Written by Diane Taylor, former National Secretary of the Latin Mass Society of New Zealand, this book is a partial account of the life of an extraordinary New Zealand Priest who, like the first Catholic Bishop of New Zealand (Bishop Pompallier), was a man loved through the generations. Fr. Meuli was beloved by many, young and old alike. He was a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand before he came a Catholic priest and Rotal Advocate. His humility caused him to become a Parish Priest in an outlying area of Auckland, Titirangi (which is Maori for “fringe of heaven”). Here he established a Traditional Mass Centre and pursued theological research.
A moving human drama is unfolded in the book regarding Fr. Meuli’s struggles for what is now called the Extraordinary Form of Mass. It begins with the end of his lustrous career, as he is now in his ninety-first year and in frail health. The story concludes with reported suggestions concerning the possibility of Fr. Meuli ‘s canonization at a future date. The book has 106 pages and includes pictures.
