FUNNY, THAT'S THE SAME THING I HAD TO SAY TO THE PLUMBER BEFORE HE WOULD COME IN AND FIX MY DRAIN
A Changing Mass for U.S. Catholics
Roman Catholic bishops in the United States voted yesterday to change the wording of many of the prayers and blessings that Catholics have recited at daily Mass for more than 35 years, yielding to Vatican pressure for an English translation that is closer to the original Latin.
Catholics will have to learn longer and more awkward versions of familiar prayers. For example, instead of saying, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you," in the prayer before Communion, they will say, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof."
