Objectors to the new I.C.E.L. translation of the Mass, cannot validly complain of its inaccuracy.
The problem for them is that it is just too Roman Catholic.
Antony Ruff OSB, the Irish Association of Catholic Priests calling for a five year delay before implementation of the new Missal, the Pepinsisters and Chitistitchers - all of them want a democratic Church. Once it is democratic, it will soon become an oligarchy of the vociferous and determined. And, perhaps, the mad.
Of one thing I am certain: God is not a democrat. Dissent, for Satan and his friends, resulted in one thing - eternal banishment.
Saint Michael pray for us!

Haven't they delayed the new Mass long enough already? Recently, I was reading a Catholic World Report article about the new translation. I assumed that it was a recent issue but then I looked at the cover. It was from the year 2000!
Recently I explained to my eldest daughter that the Church is not, and never has been, a democracy. At the end of our discussion she said, "The Church should make this clear because people are getting confused thinking that it is". There are those who are aware that the Church is not a democracy but think that it "should" be. But I think most people are just unaware.
It would appear that matters, in the case of Fr Anthony Ruff at least, are not quite as black and white as they might appear:

This article also dovetails very neatly with recent conversations! BTW, I didn't know the translation chosen for the Lectionary is the NRSV. That, in my opinion, is an utterly disastrous choice. Whereas the "old" Catholic RSV (published in the States as the Ignatius Bible) is a translation I'd have no hesitation in recommending to anyone, the "New" version is in thrall to political correctness, gender neutrality (which destroys a great deal of OT typology, most notably in the Psalms), and willful mistranslation in the service of dubious theology. One step forward, two steps back.
