"South Africans Protest New Catholic Mass" is from Time.com and written by Michelle Faul. The article deals with the Vatican trying to make a trial run at a literal word-for-word translation of the bible rather than the more latinized version in South Africa. "Critics say the new, more literal word-for-word translation is part of an attempt to roll back the progress made decades ago when the church halted its incistence on latin." This is about the evolution of the Catholic churches practices and their movement toward liberalization, however, it has become apparent that many prefer traditional prayer and liturgy that they are familiar with. Church leaders and members are calling this "another major embarrassment to the pope."
