Deo gratias!

[kstewskis]

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen.

[Piers-the-Ploughman]

now waiting for "consubstantial with the Father" as well

Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you for a wise Pope who continues little by little to restore the fullness of the Catholic faith to the liturgy

[Salvation]

I wonder when this will get to the American bishops.

[Tax-chick]

Okay. Whatever.

[lastchance]

Now the question remains. Will our Bishops obey?

[NYer]

Pinging many of the catholics because not all have chosen to be on this list ;-)

[nickcarraway]

It's sad that they are defying Vatican II.

[Kolokotronis]

"The anaphoras of the various Oriental Rites, whether in Greek, Syriac, Armenian, the Slavic languages, etc., contain the verbal equivalent of the Latin pro multis in their respective languages."

"Πίετε ἐξ αὐτοῦ πάντες, τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ αἷμά μου, τὸ τῆς Καινῆς Διαθήκης, τὸ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ πολλῶν ἐκχυνόμενον, εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν."

From the 1700+ year old Orthodox Divine Liturgy at the consecration of the chalice, the Greek equivalent of pro multis and it most definitely means " for many".

God for the Pope. He'll get you guys back on track! :)

[the invisib1e hand]

gee, when are they gonna tackle the apparently "optional" "men" in "for us men and for our salvation..."

[dsc]

"in the next one or two years."

Why not now, now, now? Even parishes that don't have e-mail have telephones, or at least mailboxes.

If you want on (or off) this Catholic and Pro-Life ping list, let me know!

[Cicero]

Excellent news. But I notice that the bishops still have not put the more accurate translations of the liturgy announced earlier into effect. Bishop Trautman still calls the shots.

I imagine this will go into effect eventually, but the bishops, the liturgists, and the presses that print the missalettes will find numerous ways to delay it.

Fr. Neuhaus has some rather sharp comments on the Novus Ordo in the December issue of First Things. He says that some people call the 1969 rite "the Bugnini Mass," and call the "drastic reordering of the liturgical calendar" Bugnini time.

[Barnacle]

Back to basics folks. Throw out the corruption.

[ArrogantBustard]

e cardinal's letter directs the bishops to prepare for the introduction of a new translation of the phrase in approved liturgical texts "in the next one or two years."

Two years? Why not "Tomorrow"?

[Patriotic1]

The Roman Rite in Latin has always said pro multis and never pro omnibus in the consecration of the chalice.

Which is precisely why this wrong is being corrected. It should never have happened in the first place.

[Ciexyz]

faithful translation.

[Cvengr]

If His blood didn't cover all sin, He is not free in His perfect justice to give eternal life to idiots and babes should they die before the age of accountability.

Thankfully, the Father imputed all sin on the Son and judged it thereby propitiating all sin and allowing Him the freedom to bestow grace by His Soveriegn will.

Perhaps the senior teachers within the RCC have another way of fostering advanced faith by the recent decision which isn't as fully explained.

IMHO, it won't offer much solace to grieving mothers of deceased children.
