Society of SS. Peter and Paul

The Society of SS. Peter and Paul (Society, or SSPP) was an English Anglo-Catholic publishing company, sometimes mistakenly thought to have been in the Anglo-Papalist wing of Anglo-Catholicism. The Society was established in 1911 as a reaction to the works of the Anglican 'Prayer Book Catholic' priest and liturgist Percy Dearmer, particularly The Parson's Handbook, which advocated a liturgical style distinct to England and rooted in the Sarum rite.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
