<\/span><\/div>\n
There has been some discussion recently about a report<\/span><\/a>
\nsurfaced through some segments of the Catholic Press regarding the present
\nstate of the text of the Roman Missal, Third Edition<\/a><\/i>. A number of facts will
\nhopefully clarify the situation and, in so doing, give us the calm needed to
\nwelcome and implement the new text.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
First, it is helpful to keep in mind the
\ngenesis of the final text that is now being prepared for publication. The International
\nCommission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) prepared for the English-speaking
\nConferences of Bishops preliminary drafts (“green books”) of the 12 sections of
\nthe Roman Missal<\/i>. After incorporating the feedback and responses of the
\nindividual Conferences of Bishops and the Vatican Congregation for Divine
\nWorship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, ICEL then prepared the final
\ndrafts (“gray books”). These were approved by canonical vote by each of the
\nmember Conferences. In approving the gray books, each conference also had the
\nopportunity to make further suggestions to the Congregation, as was done in
\nparticular by our Conference. We submitted many amendments to the texts. The
\nCongregation, working with the Vox Clara Committee, carefully listened to what
\nthe bishops said. The Congregation incorporated many of the suggestions of the
\nvarious Conferences (including our own), combined with their own review and
\nchanges, and put forth the final text. The Congregation followed the principles
\nof Liturgiam Authenticam<\/i> faithfully but not slavishly.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This is the final text
\nnow being readied for publication. This process includes a final review and
\ncopy edit which, given the size of the text, uncovers some minor questions of
\nconsistency, typographical errors, and layout. Those questions are being
\naddressed by the Congregation for Divine Worship. This review has not dealt
\nwith the translation itself. The critique that has circulated has necessarily
\nfailed to take into account the final version of the text, which incorporates
\nsome corrections issued by the Congregation since the transmittal of the full
\ntext to the English-speaking Conferences of Bishops in August 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
To sum up,
\nthere is a final text. It has received a recognitio. As the work of editing and
\nassembling nears completion, there is assurance that the published text will be
\navailable in more than ample time for implementation in Advent 2011. It is good
\nto note also that the catechetical preparation for implementation is already
\nunderway and has proceeded with much enthusiasm and wide acceptance by both
\nclergy and laity. It is clear at this point in time that there is an attitude
\nof openness and readiness to receive the new text. Let us pray in this time of
\ntransition and change that the Roman Missal, Third Edition<\/i>, will enable all to
\nunderstand more deeply the mysteries we celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n
