June 19, 2011 Holy Trinity Sunday Page Four Background on and Changes in the New Translation of the Roman Missal by Msgr. James P. Moroney P ope John Paul II presented the Church with a gift for the millennium: the third edition of the Missale Romanum (Roman Missal) since the Second Vatican Council. The Roman Missal is the book that sits on the altar at Mass and contains all the prayers and a description of the actions that make up the celebration of the Mass, “the source and summit of the entire Christian Life.” Along with this new missal, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments provided us with an entirely new instruction on the translation of liturgical texts entitled Liturgiam Authenticam. This instruction, the fruit of decades of consultation, describes a new way of translating that is more capable of conveying the meaning, beauty, and form of the ancient Latin prayers. Indeed, the vast majority of the prayers we pray at Mass have been preserved by the Latin Church for more than a thousand years and help not only to hand on what we believe but also to make clear who we are. The prayers of the Roman Missal serve an indispensable role in passing on the faith, for, as the ancient axiom lex orandi, lex credendi reminds us, what we pray is what we believe. The authentic translation of these prayers, therefore, plays an important role in the catechetical life of the Church. Thanks to the new Roman Missal and the instruction Liturgiam Authenticam, the Church in the English-speaking world will receive a new translation of the Mass, beginning with the First Sunday of Advent of 2011. How Did a New Translation Come About The principles of translation by which our present liturgical books were rendered into English were first articulated in the1968 instruction Comme le prévoit. Although admirable in its attempts to enthusiastically and creatively render a text into modern forms of English, the 1968 instruction’s reliance on the subjective judgments of the translator often ended up with a time-bound translation influenced by the translator’s theological presuppositions. In the subsequent decades, a new way of translating evolved that engaged a variety of experts, from Latinists and patrologists to theologians and pastors, musicians and poets, and specialists in English literature. Such a collaborative model of translation sought to reach a final product that was at once more precise and more memorable. It was a task as ambitious as the process to achieve it was complex. The first agent of liturgical translation is the conference of bishops, which is charged by the Council Fathers with the translation and approval of liturgical texts. Bishops, however, are not necessarily translators, so experts need to be engaged to accomplish this work. For this purpose, the Holy See forms mixed commissions at the requests of the conferences of bishops, organizations devoted exclusively to the development of translations of liturgical texts into a common language. The mixed commission for the English language is called the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) and is made up of the eleven major conferences of bishops where English is spoken. ICEL’s chairman is Bishop Arthur Roche of Leeds, and the U.S. representative is Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson. ICEL is located on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, D.C., but it employs specialists from around the English-speaking world to assist in its work of translating the Latin liturgical books into the sort of English that is spoken today. Over the past decade, our conference of bishops, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has reviewed translations of the Roman Missal produced by ICEL in several different forms. In November 2009, the bishops approved the last of the twelve segments of the Roman Missal by the requisite two-thirds vote of all de iure Latin rite members. The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, essentially the Pope’s Liturgy Office, hold the responsibility of reviewing all translations of liturgical texts that have been apprThe entire Church in the United States has been blessed with this opportunity to deepen its understanding of the Sacred Liturgy, and to appreciate its meaning and importance in our lives oved by conferences of bishops. Cardinal Antonio Cañizares Llovera serves as prefect to that congregation, while two native English speakers— Archbishop J. Augustine DiNoia, OP, and Reverend Anthony Ward, SM—serve as secretary and undersecretary, respectively. So important is the task of confirmation of the Roman Missal, that with the advent of the instruction Liturgiam Authenticam, the congregation undertook the formation of a committee of advice on the question of the translation of English-language liturgical texts. That committee is chaired by Cardinal George Pell of Sydney and is composed of senior prelates from all around the Englishspeaking world. On March 25, 2010, the English language edition of the Roman Missal was confirmed (Prot 269/10/LIn), an event commemorated by a luncheon with the Vox Clara Committee in the presence of the Holy Father. Starting this week, a series of articles regarding the changes to the Roman Missal will be published in our bulletin in preparation for the upcoming implementation, as well as to deepen our understanding of the Sacred Liturgy, and to appreciate its meaning and importance in our lives.
