When it is in English the "presider" (liberal word for priest) can ad lib (make it up as he goes along as many priests do nowadays). There is a book that has the exact translation in English for those who do not yet know what is being said. It is all very simple and straightforward.

I have only been to one such Mass - and I can see the merits of it - and the problems inherent with it. I also see the merits of the Mass in English - and the problems inherent in that.

Neither way is without problems. Naither way is without mertis.

But one way - the English-language Mass - is the only one in which grave abuse can occur rather easily.

I am fortunate to be in one of the rare parishes where such error (in English) never surfaces.

Deo gratias!
