Catholic Guilt x 3

Jun 16, 2006 16:38

So the US Conference of Catholic Bishops just agreed to change a few of the words in the mass, presumably because the original translation from Latin was "rushed". I know that it is impolite to laugh at other people's dogma, but these bonus lines made me grin...

"The alterations, which must be approved by the Vatican, also will affect the Penitential Rite. The current line, 'I have sinned through my fault,' will become, 'I have sinned greatly through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.'"

"For instance, at present, when the priest says, 'The Lord be with you,' the congregation responds, 'And also with you.' Under the new translation, the response will be, 'And also with your spirit.'"
