Interestingly, discussing it here in the IAM, the language of the 1979 translation seems to be preferred. Changing things like “sea con ustedes” to “esté con ustedes,” for example, apparently carries some subtle theological differences that aren’t exactly welcomed

Great idea, thank you.

noooo that’s so terrible to hear… and especially when the translation of the 1979 already had a lot of copy errors ☹️

ok real

i do not… i only ever wear a crucifix. not that it’s not allowed to wear a mary medallion, but most everyone in the church here in mx tries to stay christocentric in public devotion or worship

it's really not just the vocabulary, but the structure and flow too...

versus this:

...we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless him and keep him, the Lord make his face to shine upon him and be gracious to him, the Lord lift up his countenance upon him and give him peace.

likewise:

...we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body...

than this:

In the midst of life we are in death;
from whom can we seek help?
From you alone, O Lord,
who by our sins are justly angered.

Holy God, Holy and Mighty,
Holy and merciful Savior,
deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death.

this is so much better:

In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succor, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased?

Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Savior, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.

I like the street preacher you start to hear as you skate closer and closer to the eye

I had no idea!! How interesting 😊

of course. I remember when we spoke PIE in the Kurgan Steppe, 10,000 years ago

Persians >>>> Greeks

It really is wonderful!! I feel like it flows really nicely and does a lot of what people claim Prayer C is special for (mentioning creation, the Virgin Mary, etc.). I also felt like it wasn't really any longer than A (which is the main complaint for D everyone gives...)

even worse than being addicted to parking and pickleball, the city wants to build things that already exist right next door in a country club. cool 👍🏼
