The Tablet is reporting that Cardinal Pell of Australia is bragging that the new English translation of the Missal is not in “Barbecue English” like the current translation apparently is, in the good cardinal’s mind.
Hmmmm…..
I wonder if he is familiar with the Greek New Testament and is therefore aware that it’s written in Koine Greek (or in other words “Street Level Greek”). Does he think we need to polish the gospel up a bit too? Apparently he doesn’t want the unwashed to be able to understand the mass. Odd attitude for a Prince of the Church, that. I’m just sayin’…
