The longtime resident priest at our parish has his own way of saying the mass, subbing out references to God the Father, for instance, as in this “doxology” or invocation of the Trinity:
P: Through him, with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, in, all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.
To which the people say “Amen.” This is the “Great Amen” meant to affirm our trinitarianism.
The resident, however, says it this way, and the pastor today said it this way too, apparently brought around by the example of the older man:
P: Through him, with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, in, all glory and honor is yours, almighty God, for ever and ever.
This version sidesteps the fatherhood of God in favor of the politically correct non-reference to gender. Irksome and annoying, to say the least.

Have you tried speaking to him, and the pastor, about this? Lot’s of luck. This extemporaneousness is making me crazy too. That and the push for amnesty for Illegals because it is compassionate.
How about some compassion for the tax-paying public that is stuck with the bill these people cost us in social services and the bankruping of the same. While they privately laugh about their fake documents and free services — they do vote and do not share our values. All condoned and encouraged by our church.
