“The new ICEL translation is like doing drastic major surgery on a patient in need of a few cosmetic procedures,” one bishop said.

One time when I would have loved to be a fly on the wall :-)

between this and the new vatican instruction on gay priests, its really weeding out the liberal Bishops and the true orthodox ones.

God bless this Pope!

I'd have loved to have been the Inquisitor whipping these clowns into shape.

. The divisions among the bishops revealed that perhaps they do not walk in lockstep as much as conventional wisdom holds.

Conventional wisdom amongst real Christian Catholics is the realization the Bishop have abandoned their flocks for all manner of reasons and we abandoned sheep are, patiently(relatively speaking) waiting for them to decide to fulfill their Duties to Teach, Rule, and Sanctify and stop all the politicing and trying to please the world which is their enemy.

Good Lord. As a group, I hate them.

LOL! This would make a great SNL skit! I can just see guests Joe Pesci and Robert De Nero having fun with the translation from Latin to New York American Italian English with all appropriate hand gestures included to the guffaws of other Bishops..."what, you gotta problem with this?"

"Bein' dat we're both direct descendants of da Romans, who betta to translate?"

Da Book a Exodus: Moses offers Pharaoh a deal he shouldn't have refused.

“Peace be with you / And also with you,”  ---------   “Peace be with you / And also with your spirit.”

 

The ICEL proposal would return the “mea culpa” (“through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault”) to the Confiteor.

 

“Lord, I am not worthy to receive you” would become, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.”

 

These all look excellent to me!
