That makes me wonder about a lot of things if it's going to be in Los Angeles.
Will they consecrate the Precious Blood in glass decanters?
Will there be dancing girls?
Buddhas?
The Indian shaman?

For a copy of Arinze's letter to Bishop Sklystad (suitable for framing), go here. For a copy of Bishop Skylstad's fax announcing the glad tidings, go here. For a glimpse of the trajectory of the Bishops' Committee on the Liturgy's proposed amendments to the Roman Missal, go here.
Sorry, but those were not translations. They were paraphrases - with an agenda.
Haven't had a chance to read this yet .. interested in your input.

Moving in the right direction but not quite there yet. Are the bishop's brains out to lunch? Can't they translate Latin to English?????!!!!!
hoping that the Bishops don't screw it up too badly. That they are meeting in Los Angeles is a little disconcerting though. I wonder if EWTN will be there. When the Bishops have their mass together will they be allowed to kneel during Communion? or have to stand until all receive?
He said his congregation is open to dialogue about "difficulties regarding the translation of a particular text,"
Sounds like Arinze is willing to help them if they've forgotten how it's done.
They're dragging their feet. This should have been wrapped up a long time ago.
I don't usually double ping FReepers when you do a ping. But for this one I am.

I have my father's missal in Latin and English (from the 50's). Wonder do they need that to help them with their "translation"?
The Bishops need to vote? Gosh I thought individual liberal priests could change the words of the Mass or the Gospels any time they felt like it. [/sarcasm]
You are so bad-as am I- We both had the same thought!

Individual priests can change the language or rubrics of Mass at any time, for any reason. Unless it's Latin, or facing away from the congregation. That's heretical.
Cardinal Arinze's imput is always a good thing, IMO.
I've read the posts here... I'll ask husband to go find his Missals from his boyhood.
Hideous.
The new ICEL text for the people's prayer before Communion says, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed."
They're actually translating the Latin into English instead of composing English text for what they think the Latin should have said!
Glory to God!
It may be hideous, but it fits the venue perfectly.
If I weren't so attached to my 50's missal, I'd send it to them, to speed it up. Wouldn't it be funny if we all did? Course, none of us would part with our missals, would we?
