My mother and a family friend priest drove by today... TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 11/12/2017 04:38:49 AM

I don't know Latin.

I don't really get the difference.

In my opinion, it's really not that big of a difference, but it is a difference, so I asked the priest.

He said he doesn't really think it's that big of a difference, but he doesn't agree with he Pope unilaterally declaring that it should be so.

I was born and raised Catholic, and I've been through the standard religious education. However, I have never been one to delve into the intrinsics of language.

If I am wrong in saying "translations can cause issues". then let me know. I'm not here to say anyone is wrong; I know my own limitations.

That said, however, I don't really see this being a realistic issue. I've read what y'all've said, and, without any undrestanding of Latin or its translations, what y'all say makes sense. However, I'm not entirely sure the Pope is trying to change anything.

The priest I spoke to felt that the Pope was merely trying to clarify remarks. He agreed that God never leads anyone "into temptation", but, changing translations was not exactly ideal.

Whatever, I have finals tomorrow, and I've been drinking cause it's been my birthday, so sue me if I don't exactly get what he said right.

Regardless, as a born and raised Catholic, who, legitimately and honestly tries to abide by the standards of the Church, I really don't see a major issue.

Again, however, I fully understand my own lack of education and understanding of original language.

Again, however, I really don't see how this translation issue is causing as extreme of a solution as you have claimed.

Finally, all that said, my lack of understanding as is, I am not opposed to learning new information. Reading your explanation makes me worry, for sure, but I am not sure I entirely agree with your initial statement, but, lacking classical education in the initial point, who am I to say?

So, I guess what I'm saying is, convince me I'm wrong.
