Subject: RE: BS: Another Classic of Papal Infallibility
You mean you liked the, what to me were awful, translations of the Mass that have gone on for the last 40 years or so? I guess if you grew up in them..then any change in liturgy is hard. They should not have changed them again, but perhaps made more voluntary translations available to priests and parishes who preferred them. I personally loved the Latin stuff and it was a shame that one language that unified people throughout much of the world was just like that killed. I have not noticed any improvements since Vatican II..and to me the things that needed to be change, namely cruel rules about birth control and divorce and perhaps annulment, were not changed, other than to let people more or less make their own decisions and twist in the wind.

And whoever is in charge of this, can we please, please, please get rid of those ugly chant and response things they keep doing and interrupting the Mass. And also tell the priests not to break into the Mass with commentary like they were sportscasters. And deduct any special reports from the building committee from the time of the sermon. And thank God I have not seen the Nazi salute in my church since the new Swiss-American priest, who is difficult to say the least, but I respect him for that..came on board. Perhaps he is just more sensitive than others who have allowed that to happen. mg
