He Said What?

Well it seems that the blogosphere has been thrown into a tizzy as a result of Fr. Rob Johansen spilling the beans on the Bishop of Gaylord, Michigan. His excellency has seemingly overstepped his bounds and incredibly forbids the use of Latin, period.

Until other law is promulgated, all liturgies in the Diocese of Gaylord are to be celebrated entirely in English by the presiding celebrant.
...
The use of other languages in songs and hymns...can be used occasionally, but must never overshadow the use of English.

Any variance from this policy must be requested on an individual basis from the Bishop of the Diocese of Gaylord using the form [You just can't make this stuff up!]that can be obtained from the Secretariat for Worship & Liturgical Formation or the Office of the Bishop.

This Policy takes effect immediately.[Bold in original]

Wow! Father Z. takes a crack at it here.

Plus, the Bishop of Brooklyn has a piece in the Tablet (Brooklyn Diocesan Newspaper)
