“ . . . Remember, O man, that thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return? The priest pausing mid-sentence—O man—and addressing each worshiper as “thou,” rather than gliding past with an indeterminate “you.” Each of these “thou’s” shares a common humanity: all are man, heirs in sin of the one earthly father and heirs in Christ of the one Heavenly Father. But the word had to go, because the sin and shame of “man,” so we are told, is actually the sin and shame of “mansplaining.”
Surely one can find a substitute for O man. O person? O human? O differently gendered? Failing that, just move on to O-mit. Hence we get the Anodyne Standard Version, which must be authoritative because it bears the imprimatur of the International Council on English Liturgies. . . . ”
