Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

Likewise, a priest has to preach well, making sure that his homily offers theological and scriptural enlightenment

I think one of the deacons at my parish could use a homily refresher course.

I’m no big fan of Elizabethan English, or of hanging on to the old for its own sake. But when I first came there from a 1979 Rite II ECUSA church, the theological differences in the prayers were glaring.

Indeed. The 79 BCP and the ICEL Novus Ordo foolishly opted to translate from scratch instead of relying on the hallowed style that had already been part of English liturgy for centuries.

I share your hope for better times for the Latin Rite sionssar, but even though the latest draft translation that leaked out was unquestionably better than the ICEL monstrosity, it still, disappointingly, was not very beautiful. The language was still very modern and flat, with nothing of the thee's and thou's that really make English so poetic.
