This had to be annoying to more than a few people in the Church of England (again to the bishops):
The other matter I touched upon in February with the Bishops of England and Wales, when I asked you to be generous in implementing the Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus. This should be seen as a prophetic gesture that can contribute positively to the developing relations between Anglicans and Catholics. It helps us to set our sights on the ultimate goal of all ecumenical activity: the restoration of full ecclesial communion in the context of which the mutual exchange of gifts from our respective spiritual patrimonies serves as an enrichment to us all. Let us continue to pray and work unceasingly in order to hasten the joyful day when that goal can be accomplished.

Actually, the statement he made prior to the Apostolic Constitution, one that, sadly, a lot of Catholic media are ignoring, is the one about the revised translations of the Roman Missal. The bishops of England and Wales have not yet set a date as to when the revised Roman Missal will be released. Maybe the Holy Father will light the proverbial fire under their feet to get this moving. I just wish that someone would have lit one under the feet of the USCCB.

Actually, the language the Anglican-Rite Use has for its liturgy is much more beautiful than our current translation.
