In addition to daily prayers on behalf of the 400 disobedient Austrian Priests, I will now add the 600 disobedient American Priests.

Let us pray for vocations!
 
I am happy to hear at least someone is standing up for what they believe.
 
Words ending with “D” and “B” and “T” can’t be sustained.
Oh, yes they can. Those consonants can’t be sustained, but the words that they end most certainly can. But this goes beyond just those three consonants. It is a basic principle of good singing that you elongate the preceding vowel and add the final consonant only at the end of the held note. You only ever sustain the vowels. If you are singing “Donnnnnnnn’t cry for me, Argentina” (let alone the impossible “Don’ttttttttttttt cry for me, Argentina”) you are doing it wrong. The preceding vowel (the “oh” sound) is what gets sustained.

Well - they have the right to petition…and the Bishops and the Vatican have the duty to consider the petition(s).
I wonder if that is true canonically. Does this “association” have any canonical standing in the Church? Just wondering.
 
What’s a “Eucharistic Prayer experience” ? (If they want us to have a “Eucharistic prayer experience” shouldn’t they set up some kind of roller coaster or ride for use during the canon of the Mass?)

I welcome all answers…whether serious, sarcastic, funny or tongue-in-cheeky.

The Bishops and the Vatican also have the right to “say no” to the petition(s) after due consideration.

At that point the priests who submitted it have a duty to accept the decision of the Bishops in obedience…

The question will be - will they accept no for an answer…🤷

Peace

They may or may not have a right to petition, I don’t know.
The bishops and the Vatican certainly have NO duty to consider the petition.
They have a duty to accept the translation NOW, not after some petition has been considered.

👍

Anyone can sign a petition. It doesn’t change thier duty to obey.
 
The preceding vowel (the “oh” sound) is what gets sustained.
Or, if you’re a song writer, you can add the translingual “alleluia” at the end. Any syllable of it is easy to chant and held over several notes. 😉

Exactly. But they somehow think they don’t need it now.
 
for the many —> for the multitudes

Thats my only request about the new translation.
 
On the ground though, there has been no great revolt regarding the new translation. I haven’t heard a thing against it from parishioners in my parish - we’ve all adjusted to the new words, but I know that our priest doesn’t like the new translation… at all.

One congregation in Sydney was featured in the news as refusing to accept the new wording. The priest there spoke in a defiant way and I had the feeling that he was fueling the movement against it in his parish. I can’t imagine anyone being impressed with this sort of attitude to Church authority.

Nothing in the article states that these are “disobedient” priests. If it weren’t for the actions of those who didn’t like the ICEL translation, we wouldn’t even HAVE the new translation to begin with.

So consider it this way: there is always ALWAYS going to be some push-back against change. That push-back does not necessarily equate to disobedience… it didn’t for the people pushing for the new translation, and it doesn’t for the people pushing for a review of the new translation either.

(Although side note: I do feel that pushing for this review is a bit… preemptive. We haven’t had time to see if the new translation has fulfilled all of the promises that were given about it yet, or if it has had the opposite effect)
