I realize this is a thread for Catholics, so maybe I’m not supposed to get that. But… what’s it mean?

The church made a bunch of changes a few years back. I still find myself saying ā€œAnd also with youā€. :grimacing:

I still don’t get the bit about foster parents being dead. :frowning:
I wonder if the Anglicans will change their liturgy, too. I’m pretty sure that’s what they said, as well.

It’s a reference to Terminator II. She said it wrong, so he knows she is an imposter.

I’m glad you asked.

I was raised Lutheran & can still recite most of the liturgy through muscle memory. For us it was:
-ā€œ[The Lord’s] Peace be with you.ā€
-ā€œAnd also with you.ā€

The change was over a decade ago (advent 2010 was when the switch occurred)

If we just stuck to Latin… I mean, really. How is ā€œet cum spiritu tuoā€ - ā€œand also with youā€? It’s obviously ā€œand with your spiritā€

All the other languages got a much more accurate translation.

That change was the easiest one for me… I still have to think about ā€œLord, I am unworthy that you should enter under my roofā€¦ā€

So the translation is old, if that’s what the other ā€œtraditionalā€ churches say. I thought I’d heard that a lot, and not just from Catholics. Thanks.

I actually did get this one. Very proud of myself. I attended a Catholic wedding back in 2018 and hadn’t been in a mass service in at least a decade and responded incorrectly; the Lord did not strike me down though, whew.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Just don’t tell everyone that you gave $100 when you only put in a fiver.

Generally, it’s tacky to tell people what you put in the collection.
