I Can Hardly Wait

So, the Mass, it is changing. Again. I've been reading about it in the churchy media for a while, but now that it's hit NPR, it seems so...final. Transitions like these are not fun work for liturgist, and we just went through the same crap with the new GIRM a few years ago.

 Mark my words. I will leave before I lead a parish in learning the new Mass translation.

I agree with you as well -- and I'm not even Catholic! I did spend many years singing in a choir for a Catholic congregation, though, so the responsories are familiar to me as-is.

I love how the NPR piece says "Overall, the language in the new English translation, just released by the bishops, is more elevated than before." Elevated? On a couple of elongated pieces of wood, maybe -- that is some of the most stilted, tone-deaf prose I've heard in eons. Miserere nobis!

What if we all protested and refused to comply...excommunication of the PIPs?

And just in case you think Jesus died for everyone, here's a fun link:

No, sorry I cannot complied. The change in verbage will throw off my mojo. No can do.
