<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 10335814, member: 35&quot;]Great info, thanks AJ!&nbsp; Vernacular was the word that just wasn&#039;t coming to me when I was writing!&nbsp; Thanks, senior brain!&nbsp; Ah so it was much more than the switch from the Latin mass.&nbsp; Sounds to me like Pope John XXIII was way ahead of his time and it was too much for the traditionalists.&nbsp; Gee, there&#039;s a lot of change that the RC church still hasn&#039;t adopted.&nbsp; The Anglican church around the same time came up with the BAS -- Book of Alternate Services -- which puts the service and eucharist in plain language.&nbsp; I get the idea, but the traditional services are still used today (if there&#039;s a church with a congregation in it!) and the prose is so much more beautiful.&nbsp; The Anglican church has tried to widen its appeal to attract more&nbsp; congregants, so services are quite different from when I attended church.&nbsp; Sadly, I think the day is not far off when the Anglican church (at least here in Canada) will fade away or be subsumed into another Protestant church.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
