WRT to the vernacular, I’m a recent convert and I am still learning to better understand the Latin. It is useful to have translations available for the neophytes, but I think if you ran english/latin translations in the missals, that people would soon pick up the latin and would learn to understand it.

I’m a deaf person, so I really don’t care that the mass is in English and Latin, provided that I have a songsheet to read off of. I can’t hear the priest anyways.

I’ve never been to a latin Mass, I reckon I just want a liturgy that doesn’t invove puppets during the sermon.

Which, among other absurd things, actually happened at my parish. It has improved since then.

Perhaps sometimes your deafness could be a blessing, I know I wish I couldn’t hear “Lord of the Dance” being belted out during Communion.

Freegards,God bless, HAPPY EASTER!!!
