I\u2019m the director of faith formation here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUDY VALENTE<\/strong>, correspondent: These parishioners at St. Edna\u2019s Church in suburban Chicago got a crash course on the changes in the Catholic Mass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREPEAU<\/strong>: I don\u2019t want you to think of this as, \u201cOh great, come Advent I\u2019m going to walk into church and the communion rail\u2019s going to be back and ladies are going to have to wear Kleenex on their head and oh me, oh my.\u201d That is not what is happening here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: What has happened is that the words to some of the prayers and music these people have known for the past 40 years have changed. It\u2019s the most significant retooling of the Mass since 1973, when it went from Latin to English.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREPEAU<\/strong>: We wanted to make it simple for the people to understand, so we didn\u2019t stay true to the actual Latin translation. We wanted to find words that people felt comfortable with. Well, now you\u2019re comfortable. Forty years later you\u2019re comfortable. Now we\u2019re going to try to make you uncomfortable by going back to where it should have been, alright?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/05\/post01-romanmissal.jpg\" alt=\"post01-romanmissal\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8869\" \/><strong> VALENTE<\/strong>: The Vatican says the Mass is now more authentic, more accurately reflecting the meaning of the original Latin.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARCHDIOCESAN DVD: Will the changing of this frequently used dialogue be easy? Certainly not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>CREPEAU<\/strong>: In the current translation we say that \u201cI have sinned through my own fault.\u201d Now I\u2019m going to say, \u201cI have greatly sinned,\u201d but then they want to reinforce this, obviously, because now they\u2019ve added \u201cthrough my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault,\u201d and you say, \u201cI get it! It\u2019s my fault! I get it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: Some of the changes don\u2019t fall trippingly off the tongue. In the Creed, for example, the part about Jesus being one with the Father becomes \u201cconsubstantial with the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREPEAU<\/strong>: It is a $50 word. Now imagine a third-grader trying to do this, because third grade is where they teach the creed.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARCHDIOCESAN DVD: \u201cDominus vobiscum,\u201d and the response, \u201cEt cum spiritu tuo,\u201d presently translated as: \u201cThe Lord be with you.\u201d \u201cAnd also with you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/05\/post02-romanmissal.jpg\" alt=\"post02-romanmissal\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8870\" \/><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: \u201cAnd also with you\u201d becomes \u201cand with your spirit.\u201d Other changes are more extensive.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARCHDIOCESAN DVD: Indeed, as you can see, the entire hymn is reimagined and restructured\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: For priests, the Mass becomes quite different.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARCHDIOCESAN DVD: The new translations of the Roman Missal involve a new way of speaking for the priest at Mass.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: But many priests are not happy with the changes. They\u2019ve criticized the new translation as archaic, ugly \u2014 even wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REV. LARRY JANOWSKI<\/strong>: I haven\u2019t met a priest yet who feels that this is a good thing, that this is an improvement in the liturgy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: Father Larry Janowski is a Franciscan priest in the Chicago diocese who objects to the literal translation of words from the original Latin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JANOWSKI<\/strong>: From what I\u2019ve seen they\u2019re like sawdust in the mouth. They\u2019re difficult to say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: For example, this prayer:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/05\/post03-romanmissal.jpg\" alt=\"post03-romanmissal\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8871\" \/><strong>JANOWSKI<\/strong>: (reading) \u201cTherefore, Lord, we pray, graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family, which we make to you also for those to whom you have been pleased to give the new birth of water and the Holy Spirit, granting them forgiveness of all their sins. Order our days in your peace and commend that we be delivered from eternal damnation and counted among the flock of those you have chosen.\u201d That\u2019s quite a mouthful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: Janowski was so concerned that he wrote a letter to Chicago\u2019s Cardinal Francis George, which said in part:<\/p>\n<p><strong>JANOWSKI<\/strong>: (reading from letter) English has the greatest vocabulary of any living language on earth, yet the prescription is that we not only adhere to a stiff, ugly, nonvernacular translation, but actually delights in convoluted sentence structure and anachronistic language, and then calls it reverence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: The retranslation process began in the 1980s with a group of theologians working in concert with linguists, writers, even poets. But the Vatican rejected that translation and instead decided to rewrite the entire Roman Missal or prayer book, of which the Mass is only a part.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REV. EDWARD FOLEY<\/strong>: Then, in 2000, Pope John Paul II announced there would be a new missal, and if there was going to be a new missal you had to start the entire translation process all over again. So it began again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wnet\/religionandethics\/files\/2011\/05\/post04-romanmissal.jpg\" alt=\"post04-romanmissal\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8872\" \/><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: Father Edward Foley is a professor of liturgy and music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOLEY<\/strong>: I think the most problematic part of the whole thing has been the process. I think it was much more secretive than the previous translation process. We knew who the translators were in the previous process. Here, we did not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: In an open letter to the US bishops, Father Anthony Ruff, a liturgist who had been heavily involved in the new translation, refused to promote it, saying \u201cThe Holy See allowed a small group to hijack the translation at the final stage, how unsatisfactory the final text is\u2026.how much deception and mischief have marked this process\u2014and then when I think of our Lord\u2019s teachings on service and love and unity\u2026I weep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Eucharistic Prayer: \u201cWhen supper was ended, he took the cup\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: The consecration is the holiest part of the Mass. Even a small change here\u2014from the word \u201call\u201d to the word \u201cmany\u201d\u2014has proven controversial.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eucharistic Prayer: \u201cHe gave the cup to his disciples and said, take this all of you and drink from it.

I know priests who say it violates their conscience to say that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THERESA WATKINS<\/strong> (Parishioner): Change is always hard. So I think there will be some pushback from some people, especially because we\u2019ve been doing it for so long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KATHY KEMNETZ<\/strong> (Parishioner): I think they\u2019re good, I think they\u2019re good. Some will take getting used to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ERNIE KEMNETZ <\/strong>(Parishioner): I lived through Vatican II and all of that change, and that was something else, and like she was saying, there were a number of pastors who were not fully involved. They fought it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: Despite the controversy, the Mass remains the heart of their faith to most Catholics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREPEAU<\/strong>: Remember, the Eucharist is who we are. It is everything that we do. It\u2019s the center of what we are, and everything else comes out from that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOLEY<\/strong>: The Roman Catholic Church is not a democracy, and we do have a pope and we do have bishops, and they are the arbiters. The Mass does not belong to me. The liturgy belongs to, the Mass belongs to the church, and I have been called to be an official representative of the church, and it\u2019s not for me to change. It\u2019s for me to do it as effectively and as well as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: In a statement, the US bishops said there is \u201can openness and readiness to receive the new text.\u201d Some priests clearly aren\u2019t ready yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JANOWSKI<\/strong>: At some point, I will be required to teach the congregation about what is coming, and I cannot lie to the people. I cannot pretend to be enthusiastic about a translation that I don\u2019t believe in. I will say what needs to be said, but I will have to say to those people whom I love that my heart isn\u2019t in it, and I dread saying that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALENTE<\/strong>: But for now, it seems, Catholics will have to learn to live with the changes, whether they like them or not.<\/p>\n<p>For Religion &amp; Ethics NewsWeekly, this is Judy Valente in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father Larry Janowski says the new, more literal translation of the words of the Mass from the original Latin are \u201clike sawdust in the mouth.
