Since the article is available only to subscribers, I wanted to point others to this article of mine. I briefly look at two of the changes in the unofficial version of the New Translation of the Roman Missal for the language of English. The links at the bottom discuss even more changes that will come with the new Translation.

From Fr. Z this stands out:

Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.
In the same way, when supper was ended,
he took this precious chalice
into his holy and venerable hands,
and once more giving you thanks, he said the blessing
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this is the Cup of my Blood,
the Blood of the new and eternal Covenant;
it will be poured out for you and for all ** [WHAT??? This will surely be corrected!]**for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

“pro multis” is clearly “for many” and not “for all”. I agree with Fr. Z
