I just don’t know why The Church feels the need to fix something that is not broken.

But it is a mistranslation, and the Latin rite has been saying "and with your spirit" for more than a millenium at least. The Latin says:

Pax vobiscum. Et cum spiritu tuo.

I for one and glad to be returning to a proper translation and the venerable language.

Dittos

In Germany they actually say; "Und mit deinem Geiste"

"And with your spirit (ghost).

Also they are starting to sing the "Agnus Dei" and "Sanctus" in Latin more often in my parish.
