Bishop Philip Tartaglia of Paisley, Scotland’s ‘Communications’ bishop, on Revised Roman Missal: ‘It has been long been accepted that a new translation was overdue.’
“There has been controversy principally for two reasons,” he said. “Firstly, the Holy See took the decision to reconstitute ICEL in order to get a new approach to translation, and this was bitterly contested in some quarters and applauded in others. Secondly, a strand of opinion within the Church does not approve of the principle of Formal Equivalence being used as the guiding principle for liturgical texts, fearing that it will take the Church in the wrong direction, while others welcome it. Many things can be said about these matters, but my hope is that this controversy will be a nine-day wonder once the new Missal begins to be used and once people get used to the new texts.”
