Amen!!! ;-)
It is refreshing to see that so many bishops have implemented thorough preparation and solid catechesis to prepare the laity for this wonderfully improved translation. This has involved much more than merely learning “word changes.” They have helped people to see the rich and profound celebration that really takes place during the Mass. In our own diocese, it has been much more than intellectual, academic type preparations. It has been beautifully spiritual as well. May have stated that their sense of AWE at what takes place during the Mass has grown by leaps and bounds.
(From what I read on this thread, it would seem that some catechesis on Vatican II might be worthwhile as well.)

Amen, brother. I have gone up publicly against our bishop and upbraided him in front of the cameras for his view on various things, but I must say that the diocese is preparing very indepth for this change.
