It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Memo To The Catholic Kiddies: Rejoice in the new English translation of the Holy Mass.

I know you have heard the murmuring. You've heard how us little people "aren't ready" for this seismic change, mostly from the same folks responsible for the poor translation fifty years ago. Don't let them intimidate you, kiddies.

The changes are not that numerous, but they are very important. They are an important first step in restoring the glory and dignity of Holy Mass. These changes will help remind us why we are at Mass in the first place - to give glory to God and receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament.

Don't be afraid to print them out and practice before Advent arrives. Also check out the changes to the Priest's parts in the CELEBRANTS link below.

And, of course, pray that all the priests and people embrace the new translation.

Here are the changes for those of us in the pews from the USCCB:

About Me

My photo
First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
