…the new translations will be implemented. It should be interesting!
 
I’m reserving judgement until after I see how my OF parish implements the new translation and the new music settings. It could be wonderful or just horrible.
so unitl then…
 
One Year From Today…and still not a word in any of the parishes I’ve been to in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Although there is an instruction on the diocesan website that says that for this autumn (2010) priests are not to mention the new translations at Holy Mass. I wonder how many people know that the familiar “Christ has died…” will no longer be with us after next year? But it doesn’t seem to be phasing out any which would be the prudent thing to do. About every Mass I’ve been to keeps belting it out. If the new translations do happen on schedule, it seems like its going to be another rush job and people are going to be confused. They’ll be complaining that nobody communicated anything to them. I wonder why has all this time for teaching been squandered? Maybe somebody can tell me.

Really? I don’t want to anger the mods, but that just seems wrong. Are they afraid of the new translation? Are they afraid people might begin saying the Mass as they should, following the rubrics?

Seriously. That’s messed up.
 
…Yes, let’s have there be no word about them until Christ the King Sunday, November 20, 2011 - just one week before the implementation.

In all seriousness, I think we need to start preparing ASAP.

I think it has more to do with each Bishop determining the best way to introduce the new Missal within their diocese, knowing their people, priests and parishes.

BTW, people are saying Mass the way they should. The new Missal does not go into effect for another year, does it not?

I’m not saying that they are celebrating the Mass wrong how they should be right now,I’m sure many are doing in very well. But ** forbidding priests to even mention the new translation?** Give me one positive thing that can come from that. My pastor and bishop have talked about it many times, and it is helpful and insightful to learn more about it.

Again I ask, Why?
 
Why is everyone so excited about the new translation? Is it supposed to follow
the original latin mass more?

I honestly don’t know all the details. But I will say, if it is going to have more latin
references to it, then why was the mass ever changed in the first place?:confused:

Until the previous poster shows where the Archdiocese said any such thing on its website, I’m skeptical. There was a big article about it in the diocesan newspaper, and there are various other resources and information relating to the new translations, but I can’t find anything touching on a directive to priests not to mention it. If Asperges Me can back up his claim with a link, I’d be interested to see it.

The answer to the second part is that it should not have been.

From what I’ve seen, the new translation is much more accurate. Probably less Protestant. I avoid the Novus Ordo as much as possible these days anyway so it probably won’t affect me much, but hopefully it will help the situation somewhat.

I do not know where you found the instruction that nothing should be mentioned about the new Missal. There is a lot of information on the Archdiocese of Cincinnati website about the new Missal, which includes starting formation in autumn (fall for US citizens) 2010.

Whether or not there is even an instruction is up in the air it seems, however my point again is that **if **(big bold presumptuous if) the Bishop has told his priests not to discuss it I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he has good reasons for doing so, reasons which may not be clear to the laity at this time but would become clear.

For example, when I am developing a new training course, I ask my subject matter experts not to discuss the course content or delivery method since I want the roll-out to be consistent and without preconceived notions. Same could be true if that is really what the Bishop is asking.
