The one that gets me is the last piece of the Eucharistic Prayer. “I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” Not even biblical. In Matthew 8:8 the centurion was clearly asking fro a physical healing. In changing this the Church is trying to deny they take place. We must not monkey with the text of Scripture.

Oh, please, get over yourself. "I am not worthy ... soul shall be healed" is the correct, accurate, word-for-word translation of the Latin text of the missal, which is exactly the same text that has appeared, word for word, in the Roman Missal for at least 500 years, and probably more like 1500 years.

In the old rite, it was repeated three times; in the new, it's said only once. That's the only difference.

Certainly that was not necessary. I can empathize with Buckeye in that if the Mass was never changed in the first place (you know by Paul VI in the 60's), all Catholics would be still be on the same page and this wouldn't even be an issue. If it was never changed, Buckeye would know that the "under my roof" was fully Catholic and traditional. Now, most Catholics are clueless.
