[Hermann the Cherusker]

The Novus Ordo is not going to be abolished, in our lifetimes.

The words "in our lifetimes" always strike me as reminding me of the Kaddish.

Well, lets say the Kaddish that the Novous Ordo might be abolished in our lifetimes. So appropriate for its demise.

"May His great Name grow exalted and sanctified in the world that He created as He willed. May He give reign to His kingship in your lifetimes and in your days, and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel, swiftly and soon. Now respond: Amen.
"May His great Name be blessed forever and ever. Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled, mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, Blessed is He beyond any blessing and song, praise and consolation that are uttered in the world. Now respond: Amen.
"May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and life upon us and upon all Israel. Now respond: Amen.
"He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace, upon us and upon all Israel. Now respond: Amen."

No thanks.

I don't think the vernacular will be eliminated. Of course the translations ought to be authentic but the Latin Mass itself was the vernacular translation of the Mass in Greek.

Whether the Mass is said in Aramaic, Greek, Latin, English, Armenian, etc we shouldn't get (imo) too polemical about in what language mass should be said.

The Mass is about the action of Jesus as priest and victim and the language is secondary. We have always had one Mass; many Liturgues, riutes etc; but one Mass since the Last Supper

What have I told you about that kosher wine? Moderation is always a good idea.
