Look and Listen

Not to say, Stop.

"Look, there is the Lamb of God," the Jerusalem Bible had Saint John the Baptist exclaim this morning. The RSV Edition of the Missal must be reissued as a matter of the utmost urgency. Alternatively, why not just stand and read out the appointed passage, but from the RSV Catholic Edition (also known as the Ignatius Bible), mercifully still readily available?

If the Ordinariate were what it is being cracked up to be in certain circles, then that edition of the Missal would never have gone out of print, since those now availing themselves of that provision, Modern Roman Riters for as long as there have been Modern Roman Riters, would still have been insisting on it. But it did go out of print. Think on.
