This picture reminds me of a small Anglican Church that I was in.

Accuracy with the original Latin Vulgate is, I think, the objective of this revision.

Going to hear Father Jeremy Driscoll speak tomorrow — he was on the team that helped translate the priest’s parts.

They were the norm in the Western rite across Europe before the Council of Trent.

AMEN

One Church I go to has re-installed a Communion rail. And it has a traditional Latin Mass at one of its Masses as well.

[Heart-Rest]

      Amen!      

We have little booklets in our pews so that each person can review the new changes whenever they get a chance, but the only new things we have been actually using during Masses so far have been some of the musical parts during the Sunday Masses, such as the new "Gloria". I try to review the new wordings for everything at every Mass I go to, but the only thing I have secured in my memory so far is "And with your spirit".      :)

My memorization skills have unfortunately decelerated a bit with the passage of time, and they sometimes "take the scenic route" these days before things stick.

Although I am a conservative, practicing Catholic, I will make sure never to intrude on this Caucus again. Not my style, not my understanding of the "Universal Church".

Mentioning other faiths will result in either a) your posts being removed or b) the caucus label being removed. When other faiths are mentioned they have an interest in speaking for themselves.

Also, are you a member of this caucus - a currently active Catholic?

[Prokopton]

Please remove me from membership in your caucus.

Is CNN trying to cause trouble?

[Biggirl]

They will be the ones caught “flatfooted” by the upcoming changes in the next few weeks.

“Its funny how the same liberal social justice CINO’s that all talk about welcoming change are now the ones most upset by these changes.”

And our bishop is one of the worst. Most of the priests are just as bad. The rest of them are only awful.

I expect to see this implemented just as soon as the Holy Father comes here and conks this bishop over the head with his crozier.

Been trying to get a baby baptized for six months now.

These people are more miserly with the sacraments than Scrooge was with his gold.

[Ann Archy]

YOU can baptize your baby yourself....and you SHOULD... ANY Catholic can baptize someone.

[rzman21]

I’m an Eastern Catholic. We are Catholics, period.

[SumProVita]

Amen!!! ;-)

It is refreshing to see that so many bishops have implemented thorough preparation and solid catechesis to prepare the laity for this wonderfully improved translation. This has involved much more than merely learning “word changes.” They have helped people to see the rich and profound celebration that really takes place during the Mass. In our own diocese, it has been much more than intellectual, academic type preparations. It has been beautifully spiritual as well. May have stated that their sense of AWE at what takes place during the Mass has grown by leaps and bounds.

(From what I read on this thread, it would seem that some catechesis on Vatican II might be worthwhile as well.)
