Following on our discussion of the new translation of the Missal, a friend brought this article to my attention. Written by Fr Peter Stravinskas, he describes what actually happened as ICEL was working on the original translation of the Mass. This is well worth reading because it reveals that the whole project was first and foremost an ideological undertaking rather than an attempt to convey faithfully the liturgy given us by the Second Vatican Council.
And after that, another article, an expose into what was actually happening in the committee set up by Blessed John XXIII to look at the question of contraception.
This is a bit of fun with the new missal story Father - I am sure you will appreciate it. Feel free to feature it on your blog!
