Talk about out-of-control clericalism! The implication is that we laypersons are too dumb to <I>get</I> it if the language is anything but banal and basic. Like, we won't grasp concepts like "soul," "spirit," "heavenly benediction," "from the risingof the sun to its setting," etc. etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>How dumb do our prelates think we are? Could they <I>possibly</I> be more patronizing and condescending if they tried?<BR/><BR/>Ironically, it's the liberal bishops--the ones who claim to have more symathy for lay involvement in the Church--who are the most arrogantly clericalist. They assume we're idiots, treat us like children, and expect us not to have opinions. I guess we layfolks should simply "pray, pay, and obey," while the ultra-clericalist liturgists make all our decisions for us.

Maybe we shouldn't sink quite down to that level - my thought.Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121158394600137195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-56386521132633840042008-06-16T21:28:00.000-05:002008-06-16T21:28:00.000-05:00In my opinion, Marcel, it seems that the effort to...In my opinion, Marcel, it seems that the effort to make the Mass more relevant, since Vatican II, has resulted in a less beautiful Mass which seems to have less appeal to people. For instance, here are Eucharistic prayers from before and after the "modernization" of the Mass occured. Please note the simplification of the language:<BR/><BR/>New:<BR/>Blessed are You, Lord, God of all creation. Through Your goodness we have this bread to offer, which earth has given and human hands have made. It will become for us the bread of life.<BR/>~<BR/>Blessed are You, Lord, God of all creation. Through Your goodness we have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It will become our spiritual drink.<BR/><BR/>Old:<BR/>Receive, O holy Father, almighty, eternal God, this spotless host which I, thine unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for my own countless sins, offenses, and negligences, and for all here present; as also for all faithful Christians, living or dead; that it may avail for my own and for their salvation unto life eternal.<BR/>~<BR/>We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching Thy clemency that, in the sight of Thy Divine Majesty, it may ascend with the savour of sweetness, for our salvation and for that of the whole world.marfluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321116582419879267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-65258670885840382652008-06-16T11:30:00.000-05:002008-06-16T11:30:00.000-05:00Now we have the Bud Light and Aggie translations o...Now we have the Bud Light and Aggie translations of the liturgy.
