Did you hear? "Catholic churches to abandon latin for english translations"

WITI-TV,MILWAUKEE— The sound of catholic mass is changing this fall, and will take some getting used to. The church is moving away from using Latin in church, and moving toward using literal translations from the original Latin.

For example perishioners reply "and also with you" to the phrase "the lord be with you". After November 27th, perishioners will reply by saying, "And with your spirit".

Most of the burden will fall on the priests, who will have to make changes to their dialogue as well.

Some have already began criticizing the changes for being too confusing. Most Catholics are openminded, and don't fear the misunderstandings.

Check out all the changes to take place in Catholic mass.

...  "perishioners"?  LOL, well I've heard some say they'd rather perish than attend liturgies in the Milwaukee area.  There's no way a journalist charged with reporting news is this woefully inept.  I mean, was the person writing the title of the article even conscious?  Were they in a coma for 50 years and this is the first story they were required to cover?

Inept isn't even the word for it. I read it, & then had to read it again & again. & I still can't believe what I am reading.

Heh, heh. Now if the headline had a date of 1969 it would still be wrong on the facts - but closer to the truth on the ground!

Fox6 has been heading south, rapidly, in its 'facts' for about the last 180 days.

They must have lost an editor and replaced him with a Recent College Graduate.

The usual: right price. Who cares about "knowledge"?

Obviously this was nicked from a foreign site and translated (...I hope).
