In unitate spiritus sancti

If they'd just left the Mass in Latin we wouldn't have this problem.

For what it's worth, in my opinion this is NOT the way to get more people to walk through the doors.

Oh, lovely. Now the "Apostles' Creed" is grammatical non-sense. And just because the original Greek/Latin was written in a language where a grammatically correct sentence is 47 lines long we need to take perfectly good Germanic language complex sentences and turn them into overly long and complex compound-complex sentences with multiple independent clauses?

Phah!

I love it when you do that. It makes me want to find a pile of fresh catnip and roll all around in it.

I wonder if there isn't a market out there for grammar dominatrices.
