BUMP. Beat me to it.

This glance at the past imposes an obligation on us today: to make every effort to unable for all those who truly desire unity to remain in that unity or to attain it anew.

I hope the word the translator was reaching for was enable. And the "for" is unnecessary, too.

Congratulations on being first out of the gate with the letter! I've been watching eagerly...

This glance at the past imposes an obligation on us today: to make every effort to unable for all those who truly desire unity to remain in that unity or to attain it anew. I think of a sentence in the Second Letter to the Corinthians, where Paul writes: "Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return … widen your hearts also!" (2 Cor 6:11-13). Paul was certainly speaking in another context, but his exhortation can and must touch us too, precisely on this subject. Let us generously open our hearts and make room for everything that the faith itself allows.

This brings tears to my eyes. May God bless our beloved Pope Benedict.

The use of the old Missal presupposes a certain degree of liturgical formation and some knowledge of the Latin language; neither of these is found very often.

He says this like it isn't a problem.

**There is no contradiction between the two editions of the Roman Missal. In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. **

Gueuss I’m a “wait and see” person on this.
