Our Faith is more than words and greater than fear of change

*Extract from the view of the Scottish Catholic Observer, Scotland’s only national Catholic newspaper, on the new English translation of the Roman Missal.

“The question that we need to ask of ourselves, however, is: Are we facing real issues with the new Mass or do we simply fear, or are suspicious of, the unfamiliar? Do the actual words we say in Church matter as much as our willingness to say them, together and regularly, as congregations free to gather?”

The Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) in Ireland are lobbying the Irish Bishops’ Conference to delay the introduction of the new Mass there, fearing the translation to be sexist, elitist and obscure, saying: “Many women will be rightly enraged by the continued deliberate use of non-inclusive language.”

But what of the UK?

This is the problem with using a national language to express your faith. It allows the government to step in because governments always like to control their language. Thus you have less separation of state and religion and you’re asking for trouble. Just use the Latin and be done with it. That’s my opinion.

Where is it said that any government is stepping in?

When you hear the words “sexism,” “racism,” etc you can bet you’re going to get some government involved. Wasn’t the “all men” changed to just “all” because of some feminist involvement?
