I for one still feel uncomfortable with updated version of the Nicene Creed and find myself reverting back to the old way.
This pope seems intent on changing whatever he can, no matter how trivial or substantial.
Marxist.
The Creed’s English translation was updated under Benedict
As an old catholic school kid I too struggle with the new creed. If I make it so far as "lord I am not worthy..." I always flub the rest and then I start sort of mumbling the rest quietly in embarrassment. Oh well, old dogs and all that.
Not sure I want Francis trying to do line-by-line fact checking of the interpretations of the lirurgy though. This is the guy who regularly says something ridiculous and then spokespeople have to rush out and say "he never said that, and besides it was misinterpreted and he really meant that he does believe in God after all, gee you people are dumb!" I think he does in fact mean what he says and the damage control guys are doing just that, damage control. Nevertheless, linguistic precision is not something he is known for.
But in fairness to Francis, it was Benedict who changed the creed. Supposedly to make it more like it was before Vatican II and make a few wordings more clear. When he did, I thought we were good for at least 400 years before another big change to the mass.

Yes, I still get screwed up every mass with that. I can’t understand why they would need to change it.
