  • The pronunciation of "Amen" varies amongst Anglophones by geographical and socio-economic dialects, not by any Catholic vs. Protestant dualism.

    "Amen" translated from Hebrew into English is:  "So mote it be." This literal translation of "Amen" showed up in some AI translations of letters from Msgr. Viganò that circulated a few years back, precipitating a childish and wholly unnecessary attack upon Viganò that accused him of being a Freemason because Anglophone Masons use the literal translation of "Amen" in their rites. A simple search back to Viganò's original Italian would have show the word "Amen" used in those several places in question.

    Yeah, that was a good one, and when +Vigano's mention of Helios imagery for Our Lord (as per some Church Fathers and early Christian iconography) proved that he was also a sun-worshipping Luciferian (in addition to his Masonry).

  • My understanding is that before Vatican 2 in America it was pronounced "Ay men" with a long A as in "bay". I believe it was the Novus Ordo church that changed it to "Ah men", as in "pot".

    I'm not sure what the reason was. I think it was more of their fake historicism and need to change everything they can to disrupt people's sense of tradition as much as possible.

    I was told by and SSPX Priest that one is pronounced in Latin prayer and the other for English prayers.
