Euronews: A Catholic crisis: why priests in Ireland are fading into history and not being replaced
November 27 2023
M.J. Toner
Well said, Joe O`Leary! But what surprises me is that so few others here seem to notice, or to consider the quality of the English used in the Eucharist as at all important, and certainly not worth writing about, to judge by the paucity of comments on the problem over the years. Even here, on a site distinguished by so many forward-thinking people! While living language could do so much to speak directly to and for people each Sunday, instead we endure the pompous, the turgid and the banal, as well as sometimes with it, rather dubious theology. They should just have returned it all to Latin, which would be preferable to the latinate mess we have.

An open letter response to the Synthesis Report of the XVI General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops 2023
November 22 2023

Christmas is a great boon, as it spreads the Christian message more effectively than any of our drab ceremonies. Non-Christian Asians are very touched by it. Peace and love and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled — what’s not to love? Let’s celebrate it with enthusiasm, accentuating the crib and the carols, so that they can be perceived amid the commercial noise.

Euronews: A Catholic crisis: why priests in Ireland are fading into history and not being replaced
November 27 2023

Last Sunday I recited the first EP, the Roman Canon. It used to be the most beautiful of the four EPs in the translation that was scrapped ten years ago. It is totally unprayable now, which is why it is NEVER used, nor is EP IV. Over the vehement protests of Latinists, literary scholars, pastors the ghastly new translation was imposed by illiterates in a stomach-churning act of abuse. Every Sunday the simple faithful are subjected to an act of linguistic rape. Is it any wonder the pews are emptying?

Pope’s participation in COP28 Summit cancelled at doctors’ request
November 28 2023
Eddie Finnegan
Very sensible advice from Francis's doctors. The latest Air Quality Index reports highlight Dubai as one of the world's most polluted cities. Certainly no place for any 87-year old in a wheelchair, even without his present lung problems. He should have consulted this mere 80-yr old to advise from my experience of seven years ago, and I wasn't in a wheelchair! Whether Dubai or any of those Emirates is a sane site for COP28 is of course a different question.
