After listening to Fr. Joseph's Friday radio program from Friday  about the bogus ordo changes in their service,I was interested in what the people were going to say about it.  Here are two of the most ignorant but typical comments:

Kathleen McCormack, a church volunteer and former school teacher, said she didn't like the new translation and didn't understand why the church needed a translation closer to Latin.
"Consubstantial? What is that word?" McCormack said, referring to a term in the retranslated Nicene Creed that replaces language calling Jesus "one in being with the Father."
Here is my favorite:

Maribeth Lynch, 51, a publisher from the Milwaukee suburb of Elm Grove, said she was "distraught" over the changes and would refuse to "learn the damn prayers."
"It's ridiculous. I've been a Catholic for 50 years, and why would they make such stupid changes? They're word changes. They're semantics," she said. The priest "spent 40 minutes today on the changes instead of on the important stuff, like changing water into wine."

Maribeth, are you sure they change water into wine?........

  1. It's like Bishop Louis keeps saying, "If they haven't figured it out by now they never will."
    Sad but true.
