I'm not sure I've made note of the column ... though I'm guessing I must have read it at some point over the years (The Wanderer being a staple of my grandparents' pile of newspapers as well as offered at my parish.)

I will be sure to look for it.

Clearly, language is essential to the revolution ... just as are sex and particularly the same-sex relationship which is a direct rejection of Order and succumbing to the essentially dis-ordered.

As a Vatican II sort, I'm still blown away by how badly I was gypped.

The column is only a little over a year old. You can find it here

The priest/author goes through a prayer from the Sunday Mass (last year was the opening prayer, or collect; this year is the prayer over the gifts, or super oblata) and shows the Latin from the Misssal, gives a reasonable translation of his own, explaining why he chooses the words he does, then shows the pitiful ICEL translation. It is quite interesting.

Me, too. But the winds are changing. For Lent this year, my parish started chanting the Sanctus and Agnus Dei in Latin. This was the first use of them I had heard in 30 some years of my life.
