At Last! A Voice From the Wilderness
At least one bishop wasted no time to get into the public fray over the Texas abortion law discussion. And he did it really well.
Democrat Prayer “Amen & Awoman” is a Product of USCCB inclusive language
I remember the days of inclusive language fights before the ICEL and USCCB back in the day… The champion was Bishop Trautman…err.. Troutperson. There was an incessant need to remove “man” and his, and anything of masculine reference from liturgical texts… The joke was then, back in the late 90s was that “Amen” was sexist,…
