Liturgy ping!
“Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli...warned that delaying approval or failing to send the Vatican guidance by the end of November will risk shutting the U.S. bishops out of the English-language translation approval process.”
That might be best.
Oh brother! Here we go again...
It doesn't seem incomprehensible or bad to me, although the word "dew" is a little jarring. I think the already approved part of the mass translation, where they used the word "dewfall", actually works rather nicely: "Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall."
frustration also with phrases such as "the sweetness of your grace."
"I don't think the word 'sweetness' relates to people today," at least not in the way the translation intends, he told CNS.
Why don't we just use the word "hip" or "cool" instead? Come on, the concept of "sweetness" is timeless. Should we change the words of the Salve Regina just because Bishop Trautperson doesn't like the word "sweet"?
**With 189 eligible bishops attending the meeting, only 134 voted to accept the first section,**
Who is holding out on this? Inquiring minds want to know!!
**On four subsequent translations, the votes also failed to reach two-thirds, meaning the 55 bishops not present will be polled by mail on all five parts. That process is expected to take several weeks.**
I think we need to let the Bishops know that we want these new translations — including Trautman. Grrrr.
**”The Holy See wants it in November,” he said.**
Hooray! The Pope has put the Bishops on notice with a timeline. LOL!
