John Lilburne's journal about reports on what the Pope has been doing recently and the Vox Clara committee about English liturgical translations.

| Home About John Lilburne Journal Vox Clara committee and task on 29 April 2002 Ê |  |  | # 1239 K Tue 23 April 2002 The latest reports on the internet inform me of what the Pope has been doing recently, which is what the first three links are about. I think his speech to the Nigerian Bishops was important, as reported by CWNews.com on 22 April: ... The Pope spoke out strongly against priests whose conduct has caused scandal to the faithful, and told the visiting bishops: "you yourselves must investigate accusations of any such behavior, taking firm steps to correct it where it is found to exist." The Church's administration, he added, should always be characterized by "openness, honesty, and transparency." ... I also learnt about the Vox Clara committee and have added a link to National Catholic Reporter on this. Copyright J.R. Lilburne, 23 April 2002.

I disagree with the sentence about the Missal: "Before it begins to take effect in local dioceses and parishes, however, it must be translated into the vernacular languages." Its already Church law and already taking effect. Added 24 April 2002: VIS report on the Vox Clara letter
