Face it, feminists: "Lord" is a masculine appellation

I'm sure I've blogged on this before but it happened again today and...sheesh.

At the "Orate Fratres"...sorry, parenthetical comment coming up...

(Which, incidentally, translates into "pray brethren" and if my sisthren find something offensive about that I'm sorry but there you are. Deal with it.)

...I should've heard people praying:

"May the Lord accept the sacrifice from your hands, to the praise and glory of His Name, for our good and the good of all His Church."

However, some loud mouthed worshipper decided to Make A Statement, evidently (because this sort of language simply does not come naturally!) and in my ear bellowed:

MAY THE GOD ("the" God?) ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE FROM YOUR HANDS, TO THE PRAISE AND GLORY OF GOD'S NAME, FOR OUR GOOD AND THE GOOD OF ALL GOD'S CHURCH.

Please. I beg you. Do not take what the ICEL did so long ago and make it even worse.

During the same Mass (a little chapel on the West Side of Boston I pretty much have to go to a couple of times a week if I'm to hear—excuse me, "participate in"—weekly Mass at all), this same person decided to join the priest in the words preceding the Great Amen and let me tell you something. When somebody starts doing this, it somehow catches some fellow worshippers off guard and, maybe because the words are so familiar, who knows, it's a sure bet that people will join in, saying "Through Him, with Him, in Him..."

(I'm halfway surprised that they didn't change it to "Through Christ, with Christ..." just to get rid of that evil masculine pronoun.)

People! Please. Don't. Do. This. Anymore. Ever.

Thank you, and may He bless you.
