My parish has been giving classes on the new translation of the roman missal, but the resources and video have been produced by AmericanCatholic.org.

According to Catholic Culture, this organization’s fidelity to the church has been questioned.

See revue:
catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/view.cfm?recnum=163

We watch these little two minute videos, and then there is a round table discussion based on handouts that repeat the talking points in the video. They are more like quick youtube videos then actual classes on the subject.

I get the feeling, from my fellow parishioners, that they expected a little more information from the classes. The seminar seems oversimplified and sort of dumbed down. Last week, the attendance to the class was around 80 people and this week the class has gone down to about half that amount.

Does anyone have any solid alternative resources for cross referencing?
 
I have two books on the Mass and the new translation (see below). I’m working on a third (on each of the Eucharistic Prayers).

I also have free material from my books at www.FromWordsToPrayers.com for use in parish bulletins, etc.

Thank you to 1ke, japhy, and Margie9! You’ve all been very helpful. I will check out all your sources, and plan to print out the list for those who are interested at my parish.

I’ve also found a program on EWTN to share. It’s from last year, but it has a lot of good information. I’ll post the link for others reading this topic:

EWTN Live - The New Translation of the Mass - Fr Mitch Pacwa, SJ with Colin Donovan - 10-20-2010 - YouTube
