P.S. Blogger is being very persnickety lately. I am seriously considering going over to the beta version of blogger.

How did ICEL get away with that crap for so long?
What the...? blogger is displaying my old name.
Anyway, I also wanted to say that I hope something is done about the NAB used in the readings. Talk about poor translating.
As I usually say, don't get me started about the NAB. Being a reader at Mass, I am always annoyed by the readings. I mean, who speaks English like that? People in the U.S. don't, Canadians don't, the English don't, I don't think Austrailians do either. The previous lectionary was pretty inaccurate too, but at least it read like English.
Blogger Beta is awesome. Flee the old Blogger as if from fire.
The NAB in all its forms is just plain awful. I'm surprised more folks don't migrate over to the New Jerusalem Bible, which has Rome's blessing and better-sounding English.
The New Jerusalem Bible might have Rome's blessing (so did the Catholic RSV), but I believe in the U.S. at least, you have to use the NAB. The USCCB twisted the line in Liturgiam Authenticam about how there should be only one translation used in the vernacular and forced everyone to use their NAB.
I pray that I am wrong on that though.
I would love to use the Catholic RSV. I have rarely used the New Jerusalem, so I can't given an opinion on it, although I would think it would be better than the NAB we have now.
