This has been 10 years in the making! In fact Blessed JP2 was the one to announce it to the Bishops. All Bishops of English speaking countries have been given their offical dates of release well over a year. There was/is plenty of time to prepare. Don’t worry the Church won’t go back to that “medieval mass” which from your statements it seems to be your concern.
Wow you guys move fast. We gotta wait until November until we can start using the New Translations.
Sounds like you South Australians are on the ball. Us Victorians are lagging behind as usual
It was announced much more than 2 years ago, since they had been working on the texts for almost 10 years. Perhaps it wasn’t known in the general population of people but priests did know, unless they chose to ignore it. Also the changes at least for the priests are not few and subtle. The people’s changes are few, the priest’s changes are significant.
Amen!
Well where I live the original transition to English occurred in 1965. However this was the tridentine form but said in the vernacular. I believe it was 1967 or '68 when the Pauline Mass came out.
The problem was that it wasn’t just in the vernacular, they first used more or less the Church of England’s translations in the Mass itself. The Anglican Church might have had problems with the Catholic Church copying/plagiarizing their old texts, I don’t know, but the ICEL decision was made to come up with a new translation to make it different from the Anglican Church’s and procure their own copyrights to the work. The 1967 (?) Missal would have the “for all” consecration and other changes in the canon, well before the promulgation of the New Mass (1970) and something very few had thought would happen. As many know by now, this was the period when people started doubting the validity of any English translation of the Mass. In fact, Omlor et al wrote about this.
Nope, He’s doing it again.
Are you saying the players have not changed?Nope, He’s doing it again.
It’s a little misleading to say a new translation of the third edition. Admittedly, it is new, and it is based on the third edition. However, since there was no previous translation of the third edition, it is more precise to say that it’s a new translation of the Roman Missal, this time based on the third typical edition.
The Latin did change, that’s why there is a third edition.
Nope, He’s doing it again.
What do you think? Do you want to pre-order a copy?
Oh wow! I’m not going to spoil it for you! Make it worth the wait!Wow you guys move fast. We gotta wait until November until we can start using the New Translations.
Incense is always good.
God bless.
No. Don’t give him the financial support.
The final text was announced 2 years ago to the general public. It’s been available online for most of that.
Actually, tons of changes have been made to the translations in the last two years. Most of these have been to the priest’s parts (Collects, Prefaces, etc.), although there have been a handful of changes to the Ordinary and even the people’s parts, such as adding a couple more repetitions of “I believe” to the Credo so that it is not one giant sentence.
