“Most Catholics experience the faith through a single cultural lens. Yet people all around the world live and imagine it in a rich diversity of ways. “

Chris McDonnell writes in the Catholic Times about the urgency of the cry from the depths about the future of our church.
“Current critics have rocked the complacency of many priests and laity who simply prefer not to think of failure within the church. They still occupy a Church of peace and tranquillity that is the stuff of false memory. That is why the urgency to change is not recognized. The first stimulus  to begin reform is a recognition that current circumstances cry out with the urgency of a wounded child.”

The new English translation of the Roman Missal has, understandably, been getting much attention.

The new Irish language translation was also introduced on the same day. The printed version of Ord an Aifrinn arrived in the Veritas store in Dublin just two days before that. Perhaps those who took part in celebrations in Irish (from any part of the congregation!) would offer their reflections.
