Courtesy of Happy Catholic, you can read this pdf which juxtaposes old and new versions of Eucharistic Prayer #1. This is probably enough of a sample to give us a pretty good idea of how the new translations are going to shape up. Personally I vote for them. The question of how much theological difference…

Rather than try to respond directly to everything in the comments, I thought I'd try to hit it all at once. A little background: I grew up Methodist, which is an offshoot of Anglicanism, and the Methodist service still carried a good bit of the old Book of Common Prayer language, which is, in general,…

Clearly, that's what I'm doing. I was wondering why there hadn't been more uproar in the Catholic blog world about Bishop Trautman's attack on the new translations. No sooner do I sit down to write about it than it appears at Open Book and, apparently, all over the place. Amy has quotes from and links…

Hey, Bishop, Leave Those Texts Alone I knew fairly soon after I became a Catholic twenty-five years ago that I was not going to be the sort who takes a great interest in the intramural affairs of the Church. Vatican politics, the niceties of liturgical rubrics, canon law: none of that interests me very much,…

Brian Eno: Another Green World As I’ve mentioned before, I make it a rule to listen to a work at least three times before formulating any judgment on it. That’s not always the end of the story, of course—sometimes I change my mind after six or eight or a dozen hearings. But three is the…

It's a great frustration to me that circumstances rarely permit me to read at length. I read a good deal, but it's in five- or ten-minute snippets. As part of my ongoing effort to visit the classics I missed several decades ago, I started Tom Jones a few weeks ago, when I had several days…

And speaking of Eve Tushnet, I'll be adding a link to her blog on the sidebar shortly. She writes there relatively sparsely and infrequently, and sometimes on interests I don't share, such as comics, certain TV shows, and cooking, but always insightfully enough to make it worthwhile for me to stop in every few days.…

Over the past day or so I’ve been reading, in free moments here and there, this Commonweal exchange between Luke Timothy Johnson and Eve Tushnet. After finishing Johnson’s part I thought I would link to it under a subject something like “Interesting Dialog on Homosexuality.” But with all due respect to Mr. Johnson (a well-known…
