The new Mass translation...
...is beautiful and excellent. We are already using it in our parish, for the priest's part. The sacred reality of the Canon of the Mass comes across with powerful solemnity and clarity.

I have received bitter, angry chain-letters from liberal Catholics who look upon it as the end of life as we know it. I was surprised by the vehemence at first. Then I realized that the new translation is further proof that the parade has passed them by and that the progressivist agenda in which they had invested so much misplaced hope has been pretty much a complete failure. In the end, progressive Catholicism's most lasting legacy is a generation of the faithful damaged by apalling catechesis.
Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance.
Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.

I can't wait to experience it. I wish we could get a head's up mass.
