This shows that those in the Vatican have really the ability to correct, to change and even censure English translations. They know what they are doing. So be it!

The Year of St. Paul began and ended in January because of the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, if I'm not mistaken. The Year of Faith begins in October (10/11/12, to be exact) and ends the following November, on the last Sunday of the liturgical year. The Year begins and ends in varying places.

Why not in Advent, like a liturgical year? And why does the Year begin each time as a fiscal year begins? Why not in Advent, like a liturgical year?

The “Years” just seem to be a way for the Vatican to try to deny reality. No wonder the Bishops are thinking about hiring a “communicator,” and the Vatican is in the process of hiring a guy from Fox News. Evidently he turned the job down twice before. They seem to understand that they need help. However as a guy who taught a course on "how to become a paid consultant" told me, ninety percent of the time when a manager hires you to figure out what the problem is and how to solve it, the problem is the guy who has hired you!

We do seem to be witnessing the death of Ordinary Time. Some may say these special years have no impact on the liturgy or on the liturgical year, but every special year seems to bring with it a song and an insipid prayer which is recited weekly but which adds nothing or--even worse, only trivia -- to the prayer of the liturgical assembly. And no one ever asks us what we think we need to spend a year on. It's the high up and far away telling us what we need. Thank you Chris. We do seem to be witnessing the death of Ordinary Time.

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention before, but they seem to be increasing in frequency, and I'm still at a loss as to the point of them.
