Do words in new missal mean more?

Along with the “consubstantial with the Father,” this is very true. However, I wonder if this wording would have been accepted in 1970 when the Mass was made “easier to understand.” Just a thought.

I think so as it is also the same as the translation found in the 1962 missal.

I think so as it is also the same as the translation found in the 1962 missal.

Actually “visible,” “invisible,” “consubstantial” are cognates of the Latin, as many of the English words are, not necessarily the most accurate, but one could make the case that they are closer to the Latin than whatever the ICEL started producing in 1967. Even those 1962 translations weren’t the best and weren’t official, but they did have imprimaturs by the bishops. In other words, it was acceptable to follow the Mass with those translations but the priest had to stick with the Latin.

The Roman Missal, the definite Latin text did not changed, only the English translation. The previous translation had some mistranslation, those will be corrected. The Church required always literal translation, to avoid misinterpretations, the new one will be close to the literal.
