[Straight Vermonter]

This would such a huge step in the right direction and might bring some healing between the traditional Catholics and NO Catholics.

I am a bit puzzled about why the Confiteor is not a little more true to the original text:

S. I confess to Almighty God,
to Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
to Blessed Michael the Archangel
to Blessed John the Baptist,
to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
to all the angels and saints,
and to you my brothers and sisters,
that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, deed.
(here one strikes one's breast three times)
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault,
and I ask Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
Blessed Michael the Archangel,
Blessed John the Baptist,
the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you Father,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

[Frank Sheed]

I prefer the Latin and then all of this becomes moot, SV.
