I hope this isn't a duplicate, I didn't see it. I read it on Spirit Daily.

From the 6th paragraph down:

Led by Bishop Donald Trautman of Erie, Pennsylvania, the former chairman of the bishops' liturgy committee, critics of the new translations have complained that they use archaic language and defended the earlier work of the International Commission for English in the Liturgy.

It really is no surprise to me, being here in Trautman's diocese. 'Defended the earlier work', why does that not surprise me?

Have you all seen this? I don’t have a list of all who might be interested, so pings please!

This is very sad.

Look on the bright side. He's 73, two more years before a quickly accepted resignation. That generation is starting to fade.

The life expectancy of Benedict XVI and the time to retirement of a majority of these bishops are probably about the same. These guys are just stalling for time, hoping BXVI croaks before they are obliged to tender their resignations when they hit 75. I hope Benedict reads these individuals for what they are and imposes a translation on them. It would serve them right for all the transparent foot-dragging whose only object would seem to be the advancement of heterodoxy.
