Finally! Way past due

We are finally getting a decent translation of the Mass in to English without too much politicization. Forty years we have suffered with this banal translation marked with an agenda. I only wish it was going into effect a lot sooner.

Sanctus Lesson

Here is a great lesson on the Sanctus.
