An emancipation proclamation...

Fr C, sJ, has taken exception to Fr Z's self-appointed (or more likely, Spirit-appointed,) mission.

You yourself put it so beautifully and powerfully well “Slavishly accurate Liturgical Translations”! What a pity it is to be a prisoner of accuracy and prisoner of the letter when we are called to be not “slavishly” but “LAVISHLY” and creatively free, open and awake enough to listen to the ever fresh daily rhythms of the Spirit who is beyond all boundaries and who as you know breathes where She wills!

I must do some study to find out where this call, discerned by Fr C, to do anything "lavishly" is given to us?

I never cease to be amazed that there is a certain sort of person who believes that anything that comes into his own head is the prompting of the Holy Spirit, but refuses to acknowledge that, for instance, one who seeks to know the mind of the Church, or to behave with reverence and solemnity, or to align oneself with Saints who have preceded us, might be "Spirit-filled" or "Spirit-led."

Whence the assumption that the Spirit is a hoyden and wishes us all so?
Does the Holy Spirit suffer from ADD?

What presumptuousness, that any prediliction of HIS must be prompted by Holy Spirit, but anyone who discerns differently must be failing to listen to the Spirit, (since we know on Pentecost the Holy Spirit told the Apostles to make it up as they go along...)
Let see, Christ took the form of a slave in consequence of Adam's desire to eat of the fruit that could make him like the Creator....Sure, I can see how we are called to "creativity" (lavish or otherwise,) rather than submission to the Truth, it makes all kinds of sense now.

An excellent and apt quote from St Louis de Montfort, via another poster on the thread:

There is nothing among men that makes us belong to another more than slavery; there is nothing also among Christians that makes us belong so completely to Jesus Christ and to His Holy Mother as voluntary slavery, according to the example of Jesus Christ Himself, who took the form of a slave for love of us: Formam servi accipiens, and of the Holy Virgin, who called herself the servant and the slave of the Lord. The Apostle was honored to call himself servus Christi. Christians are called several times in the Holy Scriptures servi Christi; the word servus, according to a truthful remark made by a great man, used to signify nothing other than slave, because there were not as yet servants as we have them today, masters being only served by slaves or freed slaves; that which the Catechism of the Holy Council of Trent, in order to leave absolutely no doubt that we are slaves of Jesus Christ, expresses by a term which is unequivocal, in calling us mancipia Christi: slaves of Jesus Christ.
