We are finally getting a decent translation of the Mass in to English without too much politicization. Forty years we have suffered with this banal translation marked with an agenda. I only wish it was going into effect a lot sooner.

Clarification by Bishop on Catholic Voting
By
Catholic Culture : Catholic World News Feature Stories hopefully will clear up or at least inspire some of the faithful to form their consciences and vote according to church teaching. We need the bishops to all come out very forcefully so that the faithful at least hear them. Our country, our lives, and our future rely on it. Consult Voters Guide for Serious Catholics to form your conscience.

New Insight on what happened in the sixties
By
Catholic World News (CWN) reported on a recently discovered letter sent to bishops to prepare them for Humanae Vitae. It really sheds light into some of the possibilities of what happened. It seems like many of the bishops didn’t heed the letter or priests ignored the bishops pleas. Maybe we are passed what happened since the sixties and so eloquently put in psalm 95:10 – “Forty years I endured that generation. They are a people whose hearts go astray and they do not know my ways . . .”

40 years later – finally a decent English translation for Mass
By
Maybe we can finally pray the way we believe, Lex orandi, lex credendi. Ever since the Mass was hurriedly translated we’ve had to deal with banality. Hopefully we can have liturgy that uplifts us to God instead of bringing Him down to ours. Some of the changes are in this Catholic World News : Vatican approves new English translation for Mass article. I hope there are many more good ones, especially the Gloria, the translation we have now id pretty bad and is barely recognizable next to the Latin, which we should be using anyway since Vatican II says that we should be able to sing or say the prayers in Latin. Ever since I actually read Sacrosanctum Concilium I wondered where I can assist at the Mass called for in the document, maybe we will finally get a little closer.
