The new translations should be ready for use at Mass in the US by Lent of the year 2011.

When we orthodox translators raised objections to the second round of ICEL translations back in the early 90's, the bishops overwhelmingly approved those Nestorian, Arian and Monophysite monstrosities and sent them off to Rome. Rome, apprised of our objections by bishops like Bruskewicz, overthrew the ICEL monopoly and gave us new criteria. But there is no rush on the part of the old regime to give us good language. Not like '69, anyway, when nothing was too fast to implement.

Now it's Lent. A couple of months ago it was Advent. Will it ever really happen?

I've been wondering when these will come into use. Any insight into why the approval process is taking so long? And yes, I've heard John XXIII's answer to the question, "How many people work at the Vatican": "About half."
