Everyone is out to serve the Church. Abbot Gregory has done excellent work on the Psalter (and here I admit that he shared it with me and asked my feedback a few years ago). GIA is a first-rate publisher (they&#8217;re publishing my collection of Latin chant hymns and antiphons as soon as they have the final text of the revised Grail for the English translations). The BCDW (I was on their music committee which recommended the Grail Psalter) and the SCDW are conscientiously trying to provide the best possible liturgical Psalter text in accord with <em>Liturgiam Authenticam<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>But it is a problem, I think, when you have to pay a publisher and a monastery to use the Church&#8217;s official text.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the solution? I have no idea. It&#8217;s complicated on many levels &#8211; legal, financial, ecclesiological. I sure hope the train hasn&#8217;t already left the station. I sure hope all the concerned parties can\u00a0put their heads together and find a better way.<\/p>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n<p><strong>Correction<\/strong>: The copyright to the revised Grail psalter is jointly held by the Grail and Conception Abbey. GIA holds no copyright to it. They are, rather, the literary agent who will administer in accord with the wishes of the copyright holders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a problem, I think, when you have to pay a publisher and a monastery to use the Church&#8217;s official text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10],"tags":[746,62,200,256],"class_list":["post-1674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bcdw-usccb","category-ddw-holy-see","tag-copyright","tag-gia","tag-grail-psalter","tag-jeffrey-tucker"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Grail for $ale - UPDATE 4\/23 - Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2010\/04\/19\/grail-for-sale\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Grail for $ale - UPDATE 4\/23 - Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It is a problem, I think, when you have to pay a publisher and a monastery to use the Church&#039;s official text.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2010\/04\/19\/grail-for-sale\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-04-19T15:43:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2010-12-18T22:06:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pt.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"411\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"90\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2010\\\/04\\\/19\\\/grail-for-sale\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2010\\\/04\\\/19\\\/grail-for-sale\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1f253be22c50796444dc3d93f75cb50a\"},\"headline\":\"Grail for $ale &#8211;
