bump for later
Does this article discuss a timetable for implementation?
This excellent article is more theoretical. I haven't seen a timetable, although I know that the next thing that happens is that the translation goes to Rome for approval. I don't think that will take long!
After that, I guess it's a matter of printing up new materials for the parishes, getting rid of some musical settings that will no longer work (yay!), etc. I bet some bishops will find a way to really drag their heels on this. However, the changes really aren't major, so I think it's going to be hard for them to find an excuse for this. And once the new missals (or missalettes) are out, I guess they'll just have to do it.
A couple of things have to happen next. One is that the acceptance has to get the recogitio from Rome. That's guaranteed to happen, but Rome does things at their own speed. (Nothing happens in August, for one thing, because everyone goes on vacation.)
Then the books have to be printed, and every parish has to order their copy/copies.
My guess is maybe next Easter, but more likely 1st Sunday of Advent, 2007.
