A cheerful note ... the new commission (Vox Clara) charged with overseeing English-language liturgy translation is headed up by the very same Archbishop Pell.

A priest who is knowledgeable, orthodox, and a personal friend of mine says this is very good news.

So then. Mass will start with a hearty "G'day, mate!"?

Thank you, Campion. I need all the cheerful news I can get these days. Our bishops are looking so pitifully weak and clueless that, in my darker moments, I've been tempted to swim the Bosporus. The bishops need our prayers -- and a swift kick in their cans.

Peace of Christ.

It is good news. Lets hope he retains a spine.

This is INCREDIBLY GOOD NEWS. Vox Clara (Clear voice) is a dope-slap to the Liturgical Bastards that are the ICEL AND the AmBishops who have STOLEN OUR BIRTHRIGHT. I am one damn happy Irish-Algonquin Catholic militant right now.

"The Wanderer" has an lengthy column in the latest issue that recapitulates the important events since the 1970's when the Liturgical Bastards (I mean that in a nice way) decided THEY would take control of the Liturgy and the ICEL would ignore Rome's commands. That Wanderer issue is worth owning and saving forever.

It is OVER for the Liturgical Bastards.....ALL over....Vox Clara, in their refusal to accept the monstrosity the Liturgical Bastards called The Sacramentary (they hate to use "Roman Missal") Vox Clara went out of their way to rip them a new one. They trashed their methods, intent, competence, translations etc. It is OVER for those Liturgical Bastards.

Why call them Liturgical Bastards? Because they have no legitimate Liturgical "father." Read Mediator Dei to see whether it is the Pope or some Liturgical Bastards that have the authority to take decisions about the Liturgy.

As you can see, I harbor a LOT of anger about the Roman Rite being destroyed. I have spent a LOT of time dealing with Bishops and Chanceries trying to get them to be obedient to Rome and the competent authorities and in return, my rights under Canon Law (yes, we DO have a Canonical Right to Authentic Liturgy)were trampled and I was called "insane" a "trouble-maker" - you know the routine.

But, finally, at long last, ROME IS ACTING and it is OVER for the ICEL and the AmBishops.

Did I mention I think they are Liturgical Bastards?
