WG: <<<We merely recited fixed formulae - Priest: Introibo ad altare
Dei. Altar-boy:
Ad Deum, qui laetificat juventutem meam. >>>
WB: You forgot the acute accents on each and every stressed syllable. And

they screw up the common blessing: <<In nomine Patris, et Filii, et
Spiritus Sanctus.>> I pray to God it's only time in Purgatory.
