Another displacement of “father” in the mass, this just before the Lord’s Prayer:
Through him, with him, in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours, almighty Father,
for ever and ever. Amen
You guessed it. “Almighty Father” becomes “Almighty God” if the priest so chooses, slipping in the gender-non-specific for the sake of presumed bruised female sensibilities.
Sigh.
BTW, one has the devil’s own time in finding the official version at the U.S. Catholic bishops’ site. Try it and instruct me in how to find it if you do find it, dear reader.
As for the Lord’s Prayer, I am waiting for “Our Parent, who art in heaven,” etc. It’s coming . . .
Isn’t the advocacy of gender-non-specific words here related somehow to pride?
