Inclusive Language

[stjosephtomasi]

Are there any short, concise, “to-the-point” directives from the Vatican or other authoritative sources banning use of inclusive language in the Mass?

I am NOT looking for volumes of supporting documentation. I am only looking for the rules, directives and conclusions.

I’ve scanned alot of previous threads, and there are many general references to Vatican rules or norms. I am looking for the specific verbiage.

Thanks!

From “Redemptionis Sacramentum” RE: changing the official texts of the mass:

The reprobated practice by which Priests, Deacons or the faithful here and there alter or vary at will the texts of the Sacred Liturgy that they are charged to pronounce, must cease. For in doing thus, they render the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy unstable, and not infrequently distort the authentic meaning of the Liturgy.
