This Could Be... Interesting
Poking around the BlogShares index I found Catholic Ragemonkey, a blog run by three priests. One of their recent blog post was news to me - namely, that the English-language mass is in the process of being overhauled. As language constantly changes, this is periodically necessary, however, as noted by this (admittedly dated) National Catholic Reporter article, the changes include the Creed and the Gloria which, among other parts of the mass, currently have the same wording in all the mainline denominations. The stock response seems to be that, since the Catholic translations will be more faithful to the original Latin and Greek, where the Catholics go, everyone else will follow. Seeing as my girlfriend, a Methodist, still occasionally has problems with having the doxology separate from the Lord's Prayer, I'm not so sure about that. Anyhow, a side-by-side comparison between the current Order of Mass and the current draft can be found here.
