    I heard this word on secular TV twice in the last two weeks..I don’t know if the Church is influencing the world or this is just part of everyday speech more than the Conference of Bishops would like us to know or believe..Either way, they should sleep easy tonight…

    Alert Bishop Trautman!!!!!!!!

  6. Well, I have nothing to say regarding this.

    “Ineffable, something which cannot be ‘effed’ “.

    That word was used in the prayers for the ordination of a bishop which I heard in DC on Saturday.

    And last Sunday’s Gospel (NAB) used the word “wrought”! (The priest didn’t feel the need to define that word for us.)

    Broadsword: LOL!

    My son had this word show up on his practice SAT on Saturday, too. Wouldn\’t it be great if the language in the English liturgy were so sublime that Catholic kids scored better than everyone else on the SAT verbal section?
