As things didn't go so smoothly last year, this is progress.The translation of the Order of Mass II (of the Roman Missal) received 191 votes in favor, 25 against and five abstentions.
The translation of the Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Intentions passed by 163 votes, while 53 bishops voted against it and five abstained.
The translation of the rituals for Votive Masses and Masses for the Dead passed 181 to 32 with two abstentions.
And the translation of the text for Ritual Masses received 186 votes in favor, 32 nays and two abstentions.
Liturgy update!
And with thy spirit!
Approving it is one thing.
Implementing it is another.
The gnashing of teeth will begin once it is approved.
Like I said, I attended a whooping “Lite Rock” mass a couple of weekends ago. The innovations abounded. In some diocese, this will just be ignored.
Amen!
Obedience to the original Latin and to binding/authoritative Church documents on liturgical translations is somehow “controversial”?
*8The gnashing of teeth will begin once it is approved.**
Not with my priest — he has been waiting for this for three years. I suspect he will have another Faith Formation 101 for Adults during both Advent and Lent on this topic.
It’s so wonderful to have a priest who wants more orthodoxy. His Scripture Study classes are also fabulous. Over 30 adults attend every week — even during the summer.

My bishop, who seems to believe that Catholics have the IQs of squid, voted against it and in fact was one of the leaders in the opposition and one of those who derailed it last fall. Hah!
It will be sweet to hear the new translation! It won’t solve all the problems with the Novus Ordo, but it’s a start.

Better to have some needed corrections made then none at all.
bumpus ad summum
Well, you know, my parish will adopt it immediately!
But one of our six weekend Holy Masses is TLM

...your bishop wouldn’t be the eminent Donald Trautman of the Erie, Pa. diocese, would it? This individual worried in print about the parishionate being exposed to such terms as ‘efficacy’, and not fully appreciating the Mass due to the ‘elevation’ of the language...apparently not giving us enough credit to look the word up ourselves and thus end the confusion...when I think of individuals like Bishop Trautman messing with the Mass of All Time, and giving us the pallid, protestant Pauline celebration, I seethe, further stressing my already clogged arteries...
