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
give it a good Italian pronunciation. Wonder what sin actors commit when
they screw up the common blessing:  <<In nomine Patris, et Filii, et
Spiritus Sanctus.>> I pray to God it's only time in Purgatory.
