Observations on new English translation

Carl P. Daw, Jr., former Executive Director of the Hymn Society, priest of the Episcopal Church, is a widely recognized expert on the English language in worship, and himself an author of numerous very fine hymn texts. Pray Tell asked him to comment on the English of the revised Missal translation – not from the standpoint of how to translate from Latin, but from the standpoint of the quality of the final text.  See PDF document on http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/2011/07/05/observations-on-the-language-of-the-revised-missal/
