"I-- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.' "

What would it take for all parishes to switch over to GIA and drop OCP's hymnals until they come into compliance.
Some Jews consider the entire text of the Torah to be God’s real name.
In that case, if He’s got a phone, I hope it’s an unlisted number.
"I-- I'd had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah.' "
Oh good grief. Political correctness gone wild. This is not a good sign for the direction of the church.
So is this taken to be a Commandment violating improper use of the name?
Or is this a style change?
Since the practice will be permitted to stand for at least another year because of the publisher’s new edition already being at the printer’s, it doesn’t sound like the Church finds it to be an unforgivable sin.
This has got me scratching my head. Does this mean I was wrong to believe that Catholics followed the same God as Jews and Protestants?
Since there are probably not too many Jews attending Mass what’s the big deal? My God (Or Yawheh whatever) it wasn’t too long ago they tried to tell them who they could classify a saint.
I was an early adopter.
Since when is following the Law political correctness?
Stating that particular name of G-d is disrespectful to G-d, according to the very Word of G-d.
Disrespecting G-d, even in worship, is a bad thing and should be avoided by reasonable people.
Can we ditch this too...

It would be nice if Catholics got used to singing, period. Every time this Episcopalian has attended a Catholic Mass I've been just about the only person not sitting in the Choir loft who's been singing.
Oh Lord...”kumbaya.”
No, someone there looked up and read the Old Testament and what it says on this matter.
Thank you!
Makes perfect sense.
We sing.
We sing as loud as we can and when we do, others around us start to sing too.
I teach my children that if they can blare out the songs from HSM or Hairspray, they can give their all for Our Lord.
Best to lead by example. That’s the way I think of it.
LOL! Yeah, that one!
From Askmoses.com:
The correct pronunciation of the tetragrammaton is unknown. It is only permitted to utter that name in the Holy Temple; since we do not have a Holy Temple today, that name is never uttered. Instead we substitute “Adonai” (my Master) whenever the Y-H-V-H appears in the prayers.
Since we do not have a Holy Temple, we substitute “Adonai” (my Master) whenever the Y-H-V-H appears in the prayers.
When the Messiah comes and rebuilds the Holy Temple, he will once again teach us how to pronounce G-d’s holy name.
