Grievous. Consubstantial. Incarnate. Unblemished. Chalice. Partake. Hosts. These are just a few of the words that are either new or more prevalent in the upcoming English translation of the Roman Missal.
Come on. Grievous, how fun is that? The word is so fun that in the Star Wars universe, George Lucas named the leader of the Separatist droid armies General Grievous. Sorry, nerd moment.
But, yes, I am seriously a fan of these new words.
How often do you get to use a word like consubstantial? Incarnate comes from the root carne, as in flesh - as in Carne Asada Fries or Carneval. Hosts does not refer to the hosts of a party, but hosts as in armies; it is where we get the word hostile from.
Seriously, those are some fun words.
