HE BISHOP From over the mountains has approved a new, more literal English translation of the Mass for the Entirety of the Anglosphere. (See how great his power is?) The Catholic News Agency reports:
The new translation is more literal at times. For instance, the first line of the Sanctus, which follows the Consecration, [...]

VER AT The Lead Jim reports on a stupid case of rumours and telephone:
The Episcopal Church and an unspecified number of African bishops were to meet on the lawn in front of the media centre tomorrow at 3 p. m. to have it out. The Africans have demanded that the meeting be held in [...]

HE Commonplace Prayerbook has been updated with Prayers Before Communion from the Western Rite tradition. As in other cases, the language has been modernised and tweaked a little (especially in the antiphon on the psalms - which has been changed entirely to a traditional communion verse). The primary sources are the Anglican [...]

One of the interesting things I’ve noticed about the internet is it [...]

F COURSE The initials A.M.D.G. stand for Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam, the motto of the Jesuits. But the other night I realised it also stands for “Ad Maria Dei Genetrix” or To Mary the Birthgiver of God. And I began to wonder if the letters could slide around and mean other things as [...]

F All the liturgical memories I have from SGN, the most joyful and awe-full one is giving communion. I was never worried about getting it wrong. Everything else - speaking, reading, preaching - left me worried that I’d mess something up. Giving communion came to me naturally: Placing the bread [...]

T First glance, the news that Sydney overturned Pope protest law was confusing. Since Australia has “hate speech” laws on the books, I thought this was a clear evidence of “it’s ok to hate the church”.
But the Religious Tolerance website notes a curious loophole in Australia’s laws: seems that religiously-motivated speech is specifically protected [...]

IR Ian Meets +Gene over at The Lead and the conversation (and the sketches) are very good.
Another of Gene’s better moments came when he described how everyone in the gay rights movement, as in all human rights movements, “stand on the shoulders” of those who came before them. Referring to the Stonewall uprising in Greenwich [...]
