Changing the liturgy

YOU report that Roman Catholic priests are concerned that the new liturgy will turn away Mass-goers.

I wonder if their concerns have anything to do with the fact that the words of the consecration “this is my body” and “this is my blood” will be changed to the correct rendering “this typifies my body” and “this typifies my blood” as revealed in a Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew, which has recently come to light?
