The USCC's Argument With Reality: New Missal Edition

The black-hatted (not biretta-ed) one promises a lot of fun over the next few weeks.

Here's just a taste:

In 2002, Pope John Paul II introduced a new edition of the Missale Romanum ( editio typica tertia, the "third typical edition" [since the Second Vatican Council]) for use in the Church.  Soon after, the complex work of translating the text into English began.   USCC, Office of Mis-Information

Reality:

...when in fact, the process actually began nearly twenty years earlier. That's because then they would have to admit, that they were stupid enough to let the aging-hippie academicians and liturgical iconoclasts loose on the project, to the point where the Holy See had to finally step in and make them start over.

Well, what's a fact or two when we have Important People to......ahhh.........protect.  (After all, that worked so well in other cases, right?)
