Subject: Re: Inclusive Language



Bethany Dumas reported a mini lecture on liturgical inclusive-language.

I would like to see the mini-essay. I just had a round of letters with

the local Catholic Bishop and the Commission on Liturgy (or something

like that) on the doxology:

With Him, and In Him etc.

vs



With Christ and in Christ, etc



I was told that the antecedent was perfectly clear, thank you, and I

could just butt out.



Needless to say, Canadians who use English are saying Mass much

differently than U.S. English speakers. So much for the vernacular!

Cheers,
