Catholics Or Anyone Else Who Knows Where To Find That Message The Pope Sent Out....?

.... in 2008 (?) about stopping the usage of the tetragrammaton (YHWH) and its transliterations (Jehovah, Yahweh, etc) in all liturgical ceremonies and songs, and have it replaced with titles in various languages (Adonai, Lord, Señor, Seigneur, Herr) etc?

It'd be nice if I could have links leading to the story in English AND French as well, for Vot does not trust Google Translator xD

Thanks in advance :)

Update:

LoveandWisdom- Thanks, I'd Googled already but all that came up was discussions and blogs about it, and not the letter itself. Searching using the title brought it up this time round :)

    I was at Kings mill hospital reading the Awake and the Watchtower (i don't know how old the copies were- but it was in one of them where it said Jahs name was to be discontinued.

    As for the contraception issue the pope has with the Irish etc- I think popes don't really care about population growth because they are nearly dead every time we get one.

    I've been reading some amazing things on here that will either interest,apall or even entertain you:

    If you're catholic- you want to hope you haven't got spanish blood because after reading the Jewish DNA question- it seems a fifth of spaniards might be Jews.

    And if you come from a little village in portugal it seems you may be an inbred.

    Please research questions about Jews and DNA- I think it was the DNA bit that brought it up- I was truly in tears.

    People would be rel mad and I think it is punishable in this country to remove a name from records, and history has shown the bible to be an excellent record of events and time lines.

    (Jeremiah 23:27) They are thinking of making my people forget my name by means of their dreams that they keep relating each one to the other, just as their fathers forgot my name by means of Ba′al.

    (Jeremiah 16:21) “Therefore here I am causing them to know; at this one time I shall cause them to know my hand and my mightiness, and they will have to know that my name is Jehovah.”
