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.

Interesting attack on us here by Vincent Twomey. I wonder did any of our members know of this conference, or maybe even attended it.
Carl P. Daw, Jr., former Executive Director of the Hymn Society, priest of the Episcopal Church, is a widely recognized expert on the English language in worship, and himself an author of numerous very fine hymn texts.

Some time ago we published here an open letter written by Fr. Mike Fallon to the Bishops of Scotland relating to the liturgical texts. He received no reply from any of them, so he has decided to write a second letter. We publish this here, and also the text of an interview he gave on the subject. For those of us involved in the issue here, there is a ring of familiarity about his experience.
