Background to Liturgical Reform

19th and 20th century liturgical movements emerge from a patristic understanding of the liturgy, linked to the Sacrament of Baptism.

‘Theological Re!ections’ portrays one of the key aspects of Catholicism, that being that it is a theological tradition.

The complete essay in PDF format can be accessed from the footer of each video screen.

The Received Tradition

‘To receive this great gift [Eucharist] is what the privilege of living the life of faith is, and then to hand it on is our challenge and responsibility’.

Mystery

‘“Paschal Mystery”, means everything that Jesus accomplished, especially his betrayal, his su#ering, his ascension, as experienced in the liturgy of the Church, our Sacred Mysteries’.

We go to God Together

‘Liturgy is not just the forms and the outline and the structure and the ritual and the words, but it is the people who engage in them. We go to God together’.

Word and Table

‘The Latin says: taking part in the Eucharist, in the sacri!ce, is the source and summit of the Church’s life’.

Liturgical Catechesis

‘Catechesis is to hand on the tradition in a way that is valuable and makes sense’, and interface words and understandings with contemporary society that connect with people in this time and place.

Human Work and God’s Work

‘Human work and God’s work of redemption come together in the presenting of bread and wine, and these gifts become the Body and Blood of Christ, which is the Sacrament of our redemption’.

Sacred Signs

‘We people who live on this earth, we who deal with the things of this earth, nourish our bodies with food, drink, water,… clothe ourselves, take care of our bodies - all of that is part of what the Church uses for the sacred signs of the liturgy. The very things we use on this earth we use in liturgy’.

Overview

This section provides an overview of the history of translation, an explanation of the principles of translation and explanatory commentary on each of the text changes.


There are four sections within this pathway: ‘The Translators’ Task’, ‘Issues of Translation’, ‘Changes to the Text’ and ‘Challenges and Opportunities’.

‘The Translators’ Task’ provides the principles and background of translation.

PRINCIPLES

A primary reason for the new English version of the Roman Missal is that the Vatican has revised its principles of translation from Latin into the vernacular language. The Eucharist itself has not changed but the style of language has evolved.

Four video clips comprise this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from the interviewee.

New Guidelines

‘When we are celebrating the Mass and o#ering our prayers we are in the presence of God, and the language we want to use is not just common-day language, but language that is !tting to be addressed to God’.

Importance of Words

‘Words are very important because they convey truth, they convey beauty, and they will convey something of the grandeur, the magnanimity, the greatness of God’.

The New Lingua Franca

‘The encouragement from Rome of a single English version is based on the fact that English has become for many countries the basis from which they make their own translation’.

A New Approach

‘The church’s job is always to interface with the tradition, the dying and rising of Christ and our beliefs, our teachings, with contemporary society in ways and words that can make some sense. Di#erent words have been used to relate the same faith in light of di#erent circumstances’.

BACKGROUND

This sub-section provides an overview of the history of translation comprising four video clips.

Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee.

The Missal: An Introduction

‘The Roman Missal is well over two thousand texts; there are texts taken from di#erent sources, all di#erent times and places, cultures and forms of worship, and they are put together as the o$cial prayer book of the Church at Mass’.

Previous Translations

The principle of Dynamic Equivalence in the previous translations.

Bene!ts of Hindsight

A quest of !nding the proper convergence between dynamic and formal equivalence.

Imperfections

The language of current translation is of an everyday character. Some circumstances are more formal and therefore require a more formal languages.

‘Issues of Translation’ provides an explanation of the translators’ purpose and of the consultative task.

There are three sub-sections: ‘Intentions’, ‘Scripture’ and ‘Process’.

INTENTIONS

The ‘Intentions’ sub-section explores the translators’ purpose through !ve video clips. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee.


10

Renewed Focus on Scripture

‘In a sense this whole retranslation of the Missal is a profoundly biblical gesture; trying to give more of Scripture, the Word of God, to the life of the Church’.

Standard English

‘With proper preparation those texts can be proclaimed’.

Inclusive Language

‘There has been a huge increase in sensitivity to the way in which our language re"ects and a#ects relationships between men and women - a work in progress’.

Silence

‘We have become too verbose and have forgotten the power of ritual gesture, forgotten the power of ritual silence’.

Singing the Mass

‘At this time we have the opportunity to consider our tradition, and to see particularly in the chant aspects of our tradition something that may be applied to our universal experience’.

SCRIPTURE

The ‘Scripture’ sub-section presents 43 Orations with their accompanying scripture foundations.

In translating the Third Latin edition of the Roman Missal into English, the translators have been very conscious of clearly identifying and recovering the rich treasury drawn from Scripture.

Moving over the titles of the Orations on the screen will highlight the Oration. Clicking on the title will reveal the full text of the Oration as well as its related scripture passage/s.

Each Oration is illustrated with an appropriate image. The text of the scripture passage and that of the Oration are presented together on screen. It is intended that these texts be able to be used for personal/group private prayer, or be able to be read aloud. If read aloud in a group, it is suggested that di#erent voices could read the scripture text/s or the Orations.

PROCESS

The ‘Process’ sub-section is designed to help the viewer understand the consultative task engaged in by several groups of experts, including scripture scholars, translators and Bishops.

Three video clips comprise this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee.

Review Process

‘It is challenging because at least two-thirds of the Bishops have to agree on the text…. it is an on-going process….’ but ultimately the entire text is sent to Rome for recognitio.


11

The Role of ICEL

The story of ICEL, its role today and relationship to the Holy See.

The Translation Experience

‘The art of translation from Latin to English as we’ve undertaken it has been, I think, like dancing in chains, and the fact is you might not be able to move far, but you can dance beautifully’.

‘Changes to the Roman Missal Text’ is introduced with a video clip providing an overview about what has changed in the text.

The texts of the 1973 and 2010 Order of the Mass are shown together on screen to illustrate the changes that have been made to the Roman Missal text in the Third English translation.

The Order of Mass text is presented in context of its four part structure: Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and Concluding Rite.

The text of Eucharistic Prayer II is used.

Expert commentary in the form of a video clip and/or text accompanies each of the new texts to explain the changes.

Moving the cursor over each of the parts of the Mass highlights it. Clicking on the graphic image opens up a screen with both the 1973 and 2010 texts. Clicking on the word ‘Commentary’ on the right reveals the expert commentary. Clicking on the in the top right hand corner closes the commentary screen, or clicking on the back to text button on the bottom right of the screen returns the viewer to the Order of the Mass screen.

‘Challenges and Opportunities’ deals with the challenges faced by the translators of making the translation as accurate as possible and the opportunities the new translation presents for the Catholic community.

There are six video clips in this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote taken from an interviewee.

Insights of the Translators

‘Language is fresh, language changes. Language has to communicate. You have to !nd the proper word that speaks to our generation, but is not limited to our generation’.

The Challenge of Change

Change is always hard; we all have an opinion about how we would like to address things.

Answering the Critics

We are building on the !rst translation; there will be other translations in the future.

Connecting with the Young

‘How can we express these timeless truths which form the centre of our faith in ways that will make them accessible to young people?’


12

Inculturation

‘Praying the one Roman Catholic liturgy should give us the opportunity to assert being universal and being local as well’.

Opportunities Arising from the New Translation

‘It’s passing on the language of the faith. Some of the vocabulary that is recovered within the new translation will make people more and more aware of their continuity with the whole Church’s tradition’.

Overview

Art, beauty and celebration are the underpinning themes of this section, which includes an exploration of the roles of the ordained ministry and of the liturgical assembly.
