PETITION REGARDING THE 3rd Edition of the ROMAN MISSAL
We are deeply concerned with the New Roman Missal Translation. We believe it is poorly translated, indeed, mistranslated at times, resulting in a text that is difficult to speak, let alone understand. Furthermore, the process involved in this translation circumvented collaboration and consultation with the bishops, liturgists, linguists, scripture scholars and theologians. As a result, it is simply being imposed with little regard for the People of God who will be praying it.
We are deeply concerned with the apparent retreat from the principles of Vatican II. We believe that the changes promulgated in the documents of Vatican II are inspired by the Holy Spirit and have increased our understanding and appreciation of the Eucharist, Christ and who we are called to be as the People of God. We especially uphold the “full, conscious and active participation of the faithful, by virtue of their baptism” as well as a translation of “noble simplicity”.
We are deeply concerned with the Vatican’s rejection of the 1998 Missal Translation and their circumvention of the collaborative process which produced that translation. We believe that the 1998 texts were beautifully constructed, understandable, scripturally and theologically sound and easily spoken out loud and understood by the Presider and the assembled People of God.
We encourage people to educate themselves on the implications and difficulties with the new translation and to speak out and share their concerns with all levels of Church leadership. Time is running short. It is to be imposed (in Canada and the United States) the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. We encourage liturgists, theologians and linguists to continue to study and reflect upon the new translations and make their insights and concerns known to as many people as possible.
Out of love for the Church and for the People of God, we the undersigned commit ourselves to share our concerns with each other, our faith communities and especially our bishops.

I cannot and will not accept this new change without effective dialogue with clergy and decision makers from the Vatican. This is not a done deal in any way, shape or form. You can obviate the ritual with backward, archaic rhetoric but you can't obviate my faith. I certainly don't want children adopting this exclusionary text and language. Catholic huh? I don't see Christ in this plot.

Thank you for providing a no-spin explanation of the clumsy worded new missal translation imposed upon the English speaking Church by Rome with cowardly acquiesence of US Bishops-

As a young person empowered by the documents of Vatianc II, the new Missal is an attack on what I hold dear. I keep hearing about the Church's desire to bring back the youth, but this new Missal will alienate even more. The translation is clumsy and the process was suspect. Appeasement is not an option. It is time for the sense of faithful to triumph.
Elizabeth Maurer Webster, Lay Person, Rochester, United States, 14610
Thank you for bringing all this information together in one place! May God bless all those involved here and our Church!!! The Eucharistic celebration of the Mass is the central prayer of our very diverse Church. May the leadership at the top realize that this translation will not be a catalyst to "full, conscious and active partici pation" as Vatican II called for our leadership to provide! It is also unbelievable to me that the Holy See would not approve the 1998 Sacramentary (missal) when all the English-speaking bishops' conferences had approved it for use in their countries and dioceses!!! Where have the doctrines of collegiality and subsidiarity gone, as spoken of at the Second Vatican Council? This usurpation of power is almost as heinous as that of the sexual abuse crisis! And the fact that the English-speaking Bishops of the world allowed it, well, how is one able to respect their authority as bishops, Shepherds of their diocesan flocks, when they allowed the Vatican to override their own long study of the 1998 version? Sad, very sad!!!
xxxxxxxx, Lay Person, Rockville Centre, USA, 11803
People who disagree with the new missal must make their opinions heard. Staying silent on the belief that there is nothing that we can do will be taken by the church as passive acceptance, and they'll use it as a signal to roll back even more of the things we hold dear. So, don't assume that this is a waste of time. It isn't.

I will not be praying the words forced upon me in the "Old" Roman Missal. If the Tridentines can be welcomed back into the Church, then so can we pray the Mass as we have for the past 40 years. I will either attend Mass without responding to this archaic, sexist language, or attend an Episcopal Church. Benedict has been a disaster! God help us! St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us! St. Francis of Assisi, rebuild our Church! Blessed Angelo Roncalli, pray for us!
Art Maurer, Lay Person, Rochester NY, USA, 14526
I am very concerned that our younger generation will be more alienated to the liturgy since it will be foreign to them, make little sense, and fail to reflect the reality of their own lives with the Lord. Language is important and the language of the new missal harkens back to a previous era instead of engaging forward looking people.

My heart is broken. I just experienced Mass with the new Missal. It makes no sense. It did not touch me other than to make me weep for the loss. The previous language and the language from 1998 were beautiful. Why would we do this to the church we love? Why would this be done to the beloved people of God? Why?

I find the new translation and the process by which it was mandated and produced to be highly suspect at best, illegal at worst. I cannot, in good conscience, attend mass anymore because of the blatant abuse of power by Church authorities of which the new translation is only one salient example. In the coming years I will probably be pursuing ordination in the Old Catholic Church, and will happily use the (sadly) rejected 1998 English missal when I celebrate the Eucharist for God's people.
I pray that those who spearheaded the new translation's hasty approval will come to realize the error of their thinking.
Vincent Donnelly, Priest, Chicago, USA, 60558
I am a resigned Catholic priest (forever) of the Diocese of Paterson, NJ living today in the Archdiocese of Chicago. I received my STL in scaramental theology from Sant'Anselmo in Rome in 1985. As a priest/husband and father of two young adult daughters, I cannot see how this translation will do anything to help them or other young adults to grow and deepen their faith. The translation is sexist, clerical, and incomprehensible.
Catherine Wattebot, Lay Person, Birmingham UK, UK, CV5 6FQ

I've been sitting through this trainwreck for two months, and it's not got any more paletable with time. The unproclaimable, jumbled, not-really-English text is totally distracting from the prayer of the Mass, and it spits on the notion of Mass in the vernacular.
Moya Tully, Lay Person, Arundel & Brighton, UK, PO19 3DZ
I am so sad about the new translation. The language is clumsy, awkward and does not flow. After 2 months of using the new translation in the UK, I still find myself unable to pray the words. If they wished to have a new translation why did they reject the beautiful 1998? translation.

Good initiative. It is high time for the sensus fidelium of the laity to assert itself, to refuse to accept this gravely flawed translation of the Roman missal, to demand that it be fundamentally revised, to do for the Church what the bishops and Rome have failed to do, and to force pastors, bishops, and the Vatican to listen to them. May the voices of the faithful, inspired by the Holy Spirit, make themselves heard throughout the English-speaking world!
Delma Rouleau, Lay Person, Columbus, Ohio, USA, 45601
Inclusive language please, especially when the biblical language is inclusive. Change "the many" back to "all" as is the literal "intent" of the word (Prayer of Institution).

Please keep up this very important work. When I preside at Liturgy, I'm just reading words. I find no meaning whatsoever in them. The heavy handed way this is mandated is in violation of being followers of Jesus who said that leaders must be servants and not lord it over others. God bless.

Rather than promote unity this version of the Mass creates division and distress among the People of God
xxxxxxxx, Lay Person, Columbus Ohio, USA, 43017
I feel the changes to the missal make it even more difficult for the majority of Catholics to truly understand the intended meanings. The Catholic Church needs to make prayers and all parts of the Mass more meaningful not less. I find the intended changes once again demonstrate how arrogant and out-of-touch the Church leadership is. Jesus spoke in a manner that attracted many, but particularly many who were uneducated. The hierarchy of the church seems to take extra pains to keep the average lay person from understanding our prayers and our faith. Shame on our leadership. I agree with comments from others that this new translation will further alienate our youth and that's the last thing we need!!
xxxxxxxx, Lay Person, Motherwell, Scotland UK,
The new version has been used in Scotland since September. The priest's words do not flow. I read at mass and find "the word of the Lord" clumsy and difficult. In latin it is common to omit the verb in English it doesnt work. We are told this change was to avoid us misunderstanding the book for the word! Do they think we have no common sense. The younger people will be alienated by the archaic language. I refuse to use it and instead follow the mass in Italian. The word order in the Gloria we praise we bless etc just does not work in English. The biggest issue is with the words of institution "for many" instead of "for all" The pope even thinks it means "all". Liturgy should say what it means. The return of the "mea culpa, mea culpa .." again does not work. We were told that the et cum spiritu is scriptural. But when Paul uses it he addresses his hearers by The lord be with your spirit. This dialogue is traditional. If instead of being told that it was scriptural we had been told that it was the ancient tradition of the cjhurch it might have been acceptable but the reality is that "and also with you" just is better. The Spirit coming like the dewfall in the eucharistic prayer is difficult to comprehend. What was wrong with the original?
Jullie Daurizio, Lay Person, Rochester, NY, US, 14622
I am a senior who grew up with the Latin Mass and have no wish to return to it. My faith deepened as understanding deepened since Vatican II. I will try to participate in the new responses but at the same time i will hope and pray for a return to an inclusive process and, by the way, gender neutral language whenever it makes sense.

Anne Marie Bedard, Lay Person, Archdiocese of Detroit, United States of America, 48060
"First the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear." Those who want to believe that the adoption of the new Missal is a "minor" event are kidding themselves. I fear that this change is only the most recent (and most visible) step in the gradual unfolding of a longstanding plan to tear down the reforms of Vatican II. I think the problem we're facing goes a lot deeper than a disagreement over language. Our "universal" Church is split into two irreconcilable visions of what "church" should be. For the past 50 years one vision has been ascendant, and now the other is once again going to have pride of place. The question we should be asking is, how can we as the Body of Christ decide how to develop a shared vision to take us into the future? If we don't find a way to do that--and to force our leadership to recognize us--we're all going to be completely subject to the whims of a small oligarchy bent on maintaining absolute power and control even as it blindly moves the organization it has highjacked ever closer to eternal irrelevance.

I have attended a Mass with the changes already in place and have dialogued with my pastor on my disappointment with the translation, the way it was done, and the way it has been given as a feit a compli. Parallels are made between this change and the change from Latin and how people adapted. I have experienced changes in the liturgy when living in Brasil reflecting the people and have seen it embrace their love of God. The new translation is divisive and heavy handed. The Mass is important but no the all of my spirituality. Would that this translation could be reviewed and open to arrive at a truly 'new translation' as a work of the people of God and the Holy Spirit.
Sharon P. Callahan, Lay Person, Trenton, NJ, USA, 08505
The translation we have been using is beautiful and transparent. It is being replaced by a clunky, old-fashioned collection of theological jargon. Our bishop's explanation for the change is specious.

Where does one begin? A good summary which I read in the St. Anthony Messenger Press says "at other times it produces a rather awkward text in English that is difficult to proclaim and difficult to understand". This is certainly true and I can't find any reason for forcing this upon us. This whole process has taken some twenty years and we all know what has been going on in our beloved Church during this time. While one of the greatest scandals in church history was occurring time was wasted on this project instead of rooting out this sin in the church and evangelizing. I also believe that many of the men who are forcing this upon us were involved in the sexual scandal coverup. Shame on them! As I told our local bishop, the bishops should be embarrased and ashamed to let such a travesty to occur (approving this new translation).

The words at the consecration of the wine are offensive: "For you and for many..." So who is now being left out?
In the collects and other orations, the verb frequently does not agree in number with the subject, usually God. We teach there is One God and then pray as though God were many.
Ann Loretan, Lay Person, Archdiocese of New York, USA, 10562
This is one of the saddest events to happen to our church, a reversal of all the good that came from Vatican II. The revisions do not express our role as the People of God, but rather impose a theological view of God as "other",and our relationship with God as needing mediation by the hierarchy. I will not follow this new order, but I will pray that the Spirit will, against seeming impossible odds, again enlighten her church.

Hearts do not sing with this translation, nor do spirits soar. When prayer becomes mechanical, it ceases to be prayer. If it is true that the Eucharist is our highest form of prayer, I want the right to be able to pray from my heart and not a laminated card.
Connie Goonan, Lay Minister, Rochester, USA, 14610
One comment different from what I have read to date, is that acceptance of the NRM 2011 would negate the manner in which American Catholics live in 2011. We are not a conservative nation. Implementation of this translation would infer acceptance of a retro attitude and that's simply not the case. Do we need more young people to leave our Church? This translation could be the impetus for that.

I think that the new Roman Missal has been developed without proper consultation, does not follow accepted standards for translation, and most importantly serves theologically to present humans as predominantly sinful (rather than created in the image of God), lays on an ecclesiastical language to Eucharist that does not reflect the actions of Jesus as we read them in the Gospels (took the "chalice") and further remove the people from the liturgy with obscure, awkward language. Some of the sentences contain so many predicate phrases that one forgets who one is talking about as the subject! I am increasingly a "stranger in my own home" - the church.

I pray for a return to worship where people praise God with their unified voices in a common tongue. I pray for the work of the people to be about the people relating to their God and not about reinforcing how unworthy we are to be in God's presence. I pray for a liturgy that helps us to thank and honor the Creator for what we have been given instead of continually petitioning God to make us stronger believers and more blessed. I pray that the sexist males giving direction to the church honor her in the manner she deserves and acknowledge that they are not the church, but only part of the body.

I think the new translation doesn't make sense because: 1)_ Very few people in the church know Latin anymore (I am 81, so I do_); 2. I do not like the process whereby these chances were made; 3) Why sayd "I believe" when so many times in the course of the Mass, we say "we" or "use"?
Josephine Niemann, Religious, St. Louis, USA, 63125
Latin is not a sacred language. It was a human language which is now dead. Our liturgical prayers have always been human words that can always be improved. Going back to a strict translation of the Latin, improves nothing!

Greg Cusack, Lay Person, Dubuque, United States, 52031
The entire way this "translation" was forced down our throats by the Vatican is itself a shameful retreat from the collegiality promised by Vatican II. As one who remembers the Mass in Latin, I must say that -- for the most part -- I find this new translation cumbersome and, especially in the case of the consecration of wine, abhorrent. At the least, it should have read "the many" instead of "many." Please reconsider: 1) Assert your right as bishops of the American church to your proper teaching authority here WITHOUT slavish obeisance to the non-transparent, monarchical Vatican network; and 2) Please consider the need to go to a more inclusive, more beautiful and flowing translation (which is not what we now have).

This translation is pretentious and awkward. It does not deepen my prayer life but is a distraction.

This translation will drive people away from God and Church. It's a very poor shepherd who will not be disturbed by that fact. The dysfunctional process was bad enough, but the translation is poor, stilted, un-prayable, with poor syntax and requires straining to follow and understand. Ridiculous! Hard to believe the beauty of the 1998 translation would be rejected. The important message of the Gospel will be lost because the idolatry of Latin took precedence over the proper and prayerful use of the vernacular.

I have serious concern over the process used in producing this poor and awkward translation. It fails to meet the standards set forth in the Second Vatican Council's decree on the Sacred Liturgy which was approved by an overwhelming majority of voting "fathers" with only a handful dissenting votes. Sadly, the translation was hijacked by Rome contrary to the dictates of a Church Council.
Marsha Miller, Lay Person, Detroit, USA, 48167
I am disappointed in the words, incarnte, consubstantial and through my most grviewous fault. they to not feel natural are not easily understood and therefore are not prayerful. "Gvrevious fault" puts stress on fear rather than on love. Jesus was about unconditional love, not about fear. These changes might just be the ones that break the camels back and I may join the other 3 million who have left. I need a church that is true community, where the people of God who are the church are respected and not treated like children. I need a church where informed conscience is encouraged and respected. I do not need a church led by arrogant fearful men who make decesions based on politics, postion, power and fear of losing control. Ask your selves what is the most loving thing to do? or more simply "What would Jesus do? I love my God but I do not like the direction of the instiutional church. Please don't make decesions w/o consus of the people. We are the church! Without us you are clanging sybols.

The new missal is a giant step backward and is just one more example of an attempt by the hierarchy to disenfranchise the very people who are the Church--the people in the pews. The language is awkward and not good English, less prayerful than the "old" missal. I, for one, refuse to say the revisions. I don't pray the Creed, the Gloria is awful, and I would never say "and with your spirit" to anyone standing before me in the flesh. And who says "consubstantial"?!

I don't see any reason for the changes which actually are awkward and not necessary. They are going back to the 1950's instead of being more in line with Vatican 2 teaching and gospel living. They may please Catholics who are very traditional in their beliefs but what about those of us who would like to see some progressive movement in the Church - we are part of the Body of Christ too and our views should also be considered .

Having served as a pre-Vatican II altar boy, at the top of my Latin classes, I am not put off by Latin per se. But I am greatly offended by flowery Latin translated into clumsy English, then forced down the throats of unwilling worshippers. Our scholars and bishops labored long over more suitable translations, which were rejected by people in Rome who did not even have English as their first language. I don’t buy the official rationalizations; they did this to us because they could, to show us who’s boss and reverse the reforms of Vatican II. And now it makes hypocrites of our bishops, who profess to be greatly exercised over insurance coverage for contraceptives as a supposed infringement on Catholics’ religious freedom – but who threw our religious freedom under the bus in favor of this new missal!

xxxxxxxx, Bishop, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T8H 2C5
Going to Mass has become an uncomfortable experience, mostly because of the language. There are parts of the language to which that I strongly object object. E.g. the dualism of body and soul (thanks to Plato), that Jesus descended into hell (a medieval concept which must be shocking to most people today), the occasional sexist language, the convoluted English used, etc. I understand that this translation is a literal translation from the pre-Vatican II Latin. That does account for its awkward English. However, anyone who knows a foreign language knows that you can't translate literally without making it awkward.
We should be concerned about making the Mass more meaningful for people today so that going to Mass will be an encounter with God, not a struggle with awkward language and questionable concepts.
Thank you for allowing me to vent. I hope that our Church would become more interested in bringing back those who are no longer going to Mass than returning to a pre-Vatican II translation of the Mass. Cultures change. Meanings and concepts change as well. Obedience is no longer the same virtue as it was. Freedom is seen as a positive value. The Church Christ founded was not a hierarchy, only acting from the top down. That became part of the Church only with Constantine, a dictatorial form of governing, a focus from the top down. Today our ideal is real democracy, where people accept the reality of differences and participation in the dialogue. I hope that the Vatican will listen to our voices.
Will these thoughts be sent to the Vatican? I just don't want this on the web.

What bothers me most is the intent behind this retrograde action. No one can make a case for a need to "improve" the 1998 edition. The idea to Latinize the texts reeks of archaic values that sanctify the language of the Roman Empire. Rather than uplifting the faithful, it denigrates them by suggesting that their own language is inadequate to convey the exalted concepts only the elite can comprehend. The intent here is self aggrandizement, snobbery pure and simple.

The new text does nothing to express our faith as a people of God or as Christians reaching out to those around us and making us one as God's children. Why are we only extending peace to persons of good will and not to our enemies as well. Did Christ raise a chalice made of Gold at the Last Supper or an Earthen Vessel made from the soil of Africa. Why not be more concerned about the celebrant breaking the host(bread) at the consecration instead of holding up a hugh piece of unleaven bread which was probably a ordinary loaf of bread eaten at any meal at that time. Why is the line "the Lord be with you" no longer followed by "and also with you". Did the Altar servers no what they were answering in the 30,40 & 50's. Did anyone in the pews know what was being said if they hadn't taken Latin in High School. Did anyone in the congregation know what was being said except for what was written in their missals. This whole new Missal is a hugh step backwards and not a step forward to promote unity or to bring back Catholics or bring in new members to our church.

I believe that the strange wording and endless sentences of the New Roman Missal translation will especially alienate children and youth.

Our priest who says Mass has a VERY difficult time reading the new prayers because they are so stilted and the sentences are long and not comprehensible.

I find the changed words of the consecration scandalous. "All" and "many" do NOT mean the same thing in English. Somebody needs to tell the Curia that.

Why make changes in the first place? The new words in the Our Father maybe scripturally correct but for many take away our meaning of the wonderful prayer. For our young people the former was easier to explain and made sense to their young minds.

Thank you for putting this petition together so we can make our opinion known that the new translation is clumsy, awkward and not at all prayerful. A return to the prior version would be a blessing and appreciated by the priests as well as laity.

We are so inflamed with the new missal translations that we have both stopped going to mass. We are seniors in our sixties who hwve been lectors and Eucharistic ministers for over 30 years. Add to this the insane treatment of women, gays and the abuse scandal it is no surprise that many devout catholics no longer attend mass. When will we realize that this is NOT the church that Jesus preached. So much for evangelization!

I am completely turned off with the new translation. Just last week I heard the priest in a prayer "disordered affection" What in God's name is that all about? I have chosen not to say the new words...I am being a mute in church.
Lynda Day, Lay Person, Lacrosse, USA, 54401
I too am deeply concerned as the words are in fact an impediment to prayer and participation. Further I am too very upset by the manner in which this liturgy came about and am most distressed by the overt actions of the church to at worst, dismantle Vatican II and at least, to ignore it!

The bishops are completely out of touch. This translation is not only a step backwards, its bad grammar is confusing and clumsy. What an insult to the Vatican II Church and to my faith. This entire effort is a smokescreen to eliminate the focus from the abuse and criminal activity the Church is steeped in. How sad. I refuse to accept the 2011 English Missal translation. It is ineffective and prays a narrow and limited understanding of God, love and relationship.

What is wrong with you 'Catholics'. Disobedient to the Holy See of Rome. The New New Mass is a slow return to the Mass of All Times, the Mass of the Saints. How can it have been 'mistranslated'? 'For Many' is in the Bible. The Agony in the Garden is whare Christ sweated blood as He saw those who were going to be lost. Obey the Pope, the Supreme Pontiff who is guided by the Holy Ghost.

For the first time, with the now "old" Vatican II Mass, I began - to actually PRAY the Mass. Now, I'm told to recite words most of us don't understand. These changes are awkward for the parishioners and the Priests, and they are not based on my reality. For example, the pre Vat. II "under my roof" is said to be biblical. IF I were not present at the Mass, it would make sense, but this was said of a man who did not think himself worthy that Christ "go to his home" - Is that what we believe? Do we believe that Christ, who as my 6th grade teacher, Sr Marie Peter said, that Christ would have died just for me alone, if I were the only person on earth? Only man says we are "unworthy" - not Christ. Didn't Christ teach us to call the Father, Abba, aka Daddy? Too, we now pray Only for the priest's "soul" - not his mind and body. Did Christ tell us to ignore our bodies & minds in carrying out His mission? How can we do that? Are we not God's "hands and feet" in this world. And I agree, we are going back to a "mea culpa" tradition, rather than focussing on "God's love for each of us. I too can not & do not accept these changes. I've made my own paper on the 1998 (& previous) wording to read at Mass. IF this is to evangelize in "bringing back" the fold, or to keep the young in the church, it's cumbersome language will fail!

I am very saddened by this translation as it if very hard to have a sense of praying the mass. It is disheartening to have missed the chance of having a beautiful and prayerful mass in English like the 1998 Missal.
Francis Mossholder, Priest, Lansing, USA, 48813
The asseembly is bored stiff with this translation. It speaks neither to them nor to me. Awkward in its wording. It's unfortunate.
Melinda Gardiner, Lay Minister, Albany, USA, 12529
1. An Ecumenical Council -- i.e. Vatican II -- is the authoritative teaching of the church. It has authority above Vatican Congregations, above the Pope. This translation is an attempt to circumvent the Council. Therefore it is acually in schism with the Church's teachings.
For example, the translation is narrowing, rather than broadening in our understanding of the human person and our God because of its rigidity in vertical and horozontal language. God is not only a Father and a "he." The people of the Church are not only "men" or "brothers."
2. How can the Church fullfill Jesus' injunction to love others as he loves us when guilt and unworthiness is emphasized at the Eucharist, which prepares us to do his will in the world?
Mark McHugh-Pratt, Lay Person, St.Andrews and Edinburgh, Scotland, EH42 1RE
In particular the new translation has fatally altered a prayer which I used during my recovery from a heart attack: 'Lord, I am not worthy to receive you...'
xxxxxxxx, Lay Person, Hexham & Newcastle, UK, DH8 6GA
This translation is some sort of attempt to drag us back a couple of centuries. After a good six months I find the changes as unpalatable as when I first heard them. Often, I come out of Mass angry rather than filled with the love of God
Words have to change but we should move forward not back and the text should be beautiful but simple and accessible to young and old alive. This text is none of these!

Thank you for the work you are doing. My students are learning just how important it is to understand the fine details of the retrenchment effort reflected in the current liturgy. May we, the people of God, renew our call to Vatican II reforms as if the life and future of our Church depends on it!

After well over a year of "giving this translation a chance" and "trying to make it work", I find it's been just one factor in my feeling alienated from the Church. By way of reducing that feeling of alienation, I plan to return to praying the Mass using the "old" translation - out loud, but not so as to be disruptive to others who feel comfortable with the "new" version.
