My personal preference is that I preferred the old translation. I’m glad to hear that the majority of people like it, though.
Like Unam Sanctam said — it had a political and secular spin on it. The previous translation was done by a committee of Bishops, who wanted their thoughts to be put out there, rather than staying true to the Bible, St. Jerome and the Latin Vulgate.
As true Catholics we want to be true to the Word of God, don’t we?
I can’t wait for the lectionary to get changed to go along with the new Roman Missal.
Be glad that Pope Benedict conked the American Bishops on the head for dragging their feet on this.
