I was wondering. Since the translation of the Missal in the United States has updated the phrasing from "One God Forever and Ever" to "God Forever and Ever," will FL be making that change? Or is this something that requires permission from the USCCB first? (Since I don't know what is involved in the process, it could easily be the case for all I know.)

    Once the Missal itself has been released in an updated edition, I imagine that Faithlife will sell the updated edition.

    I've seen e-missal apps and websites with these changes. So I was curious as to whether FL had permission to do the same or if there was more in play than I was aware of. Since I don't know the answer, I thought I'd ask and see.

    Fair enough. One complication for FL would be that they sell an electronic edition of the physical book that is the Missal, rather than an electronic version of the texts of the Missal.
