“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Cranmer retained the order of the last two clauses (14th after Trinity):
Almighty and everlasting God,
give unto us the increase of faith, hope, and charity;
and, that we may obtain that which thou dost promise,
make us to love that which thou dost command.
Yes, Cranmer did preserve the order of the lines, and I don’t think his ear went wrong. There is a kind of sober crescendo here: The address to God, mentioning two of his attributes; a general request for the [sic] increase of christian virtues; then a sort of softening of the tone as we dare to adduce a reason for what we are about to ask; and then the climactic last clause asking not merely that we obey what we are commanded but that we love what is commanded. When the order of the last two lines is switched then it seems to me the emphasis moves to what we want to get out of the deal. With the original order the deal is mentioned but only in passing; the final chord asks not what one might have expected, help in obeying the commands, but rather that we may love the commands, from which love obedience will naturally flow.
What I hear between the lame-duck and the accurate translation is the absence of causality. God forbid we should ever have to DO anything to receive eternal life. The power of the word “and” rather than “so that” pops me right off any hook I might not want to be on. That was not accidental. That is a different religion than ours.
