There's a minor kerfuffle in English speaking countries about the "new" Mass translations...similar to the kerfuffle over Bible translations.
But the real problem is one brought up by ExAnglican Father L. to liturgical translators:
"...In all the translations and the revisions and the arguments and the revisions of the revisions and among the liturgical experts and the linguistic experts and the theological experts and the Scriptural experts did anyone at any time stop and take the time to run these translations past a board of poets and literary scholars and perhaps a group of classically trained actors?"

GetReligion discusses the press coverage of Pakistan's blasphemy laws. and includes a quote from a Guardian commentary by Shehrbano Taseer, the daughter of the late Salmaan Taseer:
--------------------------------------------The blasphemy laws were foisted on to Pakistan by the draconian General Zia ul-Haq in 1986. Since then, more than 500 Muslims, 340 Ahmadis, 119 Christians, 14 Hindus and 10 others have been charged under the laws.
Thirty-two of those accused — and two Muslim judges — have been mowed down by Islamist vigilantes. Since 4 January, the day my father was assassinated, there have been 16 known cases in which 23 people have been affected. Once a law is made in the name of religion, no one can touch it.
