We have waited long enough


America Magazine organised a petition trying to delay the introduction of the new English translations of the Missal under the heading, "What if we just said wait?" I am not sure what they want to wait for: the death of the Holy Father, or the end of the world?
As a response, there is another petition saying, "We have waited lomg enough!" Do sign it!


p.s. Ignore the request for a donation, it isn't necessary!!!
