That made my morning!

Word from the floor is that "no more than a handful" of objections were raised, most of which were eventually withdrawn... Everything was handled in 45 minutes, word is that it was relatively easy, and not a single adaptation was contested.
Thank you, Bishop Roche!
What wonderful news to wake up to!
Thank you God for guiding our Bishops!
bump for later
Does this article discuss a timetable for implementation?
This excellent article is more theoretical. I haven't seen a timetable, although I know that the next thing that happens is that the translation goes to Rome for approval. I don't think that will take long!
After that, I guess it's a matter of printing up new materials for the parishes, getting rid of some musical settings that will no longer work (yay!), etc. I bet some bishops will find a way to really drag their heels on this. However, the changes really aren't major, so I think it's going to be hard for them to find an excuse for this. And once the new missals (or missalettes) are out, I guess they'll just have to do it.
great address, God bless him. Considering some of those voting, that margin for approval is almost miraculous. I wonder what the yes vote percentage was in the other countries.
My poor young pastor will have some difficulties with this. He's under 40 and I've heard him use the 'we've been doing it this way for forty years' statement.
I'll have to commiserate with him and tell him how we managed to live through wrenching change forty years ago.
And needle him a bit by asking when we can expect to have our communion rails re-installed.
Maybe they can try "being of one substance" - the old BCP version.
What's that dreadful sound?
It's Marty Haugen's Mass again.
Have mercy on us!
Can't we stop that sound?
And not hear Marty's Mass again?
Grant us some peace!"

Can this be true? Is it really a done deal? Or is this another bait-and-switch?
As long as they don't start toying with the Anglican Use Rite One, I will be a happy camper.
I must confess I am totally lost in a Novus Ordo Mass, although the corrections will make it easier for me when I attend the NO.
A couple of things have to happen next. One is that the acceptance has to get the recogitio from Rome. That's guaranteed to happen, but Rome does things at their own speed. (Nothing happens in August, for one thing, because everyone goes on vacation.)
Then the books have to be printed, and every parish has to order their copy/copies.
My guess is maybe next Easter, but more likely 1st Sunday of Advent, 2007.
Ooooohhhh.
Good Speech!!
Add my voice to yours!! Wish I could be a fly on the wall during that conversation.
And needle him a bit by asking when we can expect to have our communion rails re-installed.
ROFL!! If you really want to get his goat, tell him you've heard the USCCB will be discussing a return to Latin, at next year's meeting.
Thanks! The kids were worried that we'd go to Mass on Sunday and not know what to say. They'll be relieved that we don't need to assimilate "... And with thy ghost!" until Advent '07!
Actually, Dan Schutte usually makes Marty Haugen sound like Samuel Barber. Plus, to my knowledge, Marty Haugen did not "marry" his "boyfriend," as Dan Schutte - who is head of music and student life at a Jesuit college - did. Marty Haugen is just a Lutheran. But then, so was Bach, although the resemblance ends there...
In any case, their music, if you could call it that, is wretched. We've changed from Mass of Cremation to the St. Louis Jebbie Mass setting for Ordinary time. It's gonna be a looooooong green season.
It may be that one of his hymns has drifted by like a bad smell . . . our choirmaster uses the hymns to use (under protest) the Glory and Praise type dreck that some members of the congregation seem to love . . . but maybe I was too busy hiding under the pew to notice who wrote it.
