Although the online survey is non-scientific in that respondents self-selected to respond, it still gives important information about differing views about the new Missal among most Catholics compared to Catholic who favor the Extraordinary Form (according the 1962 Missal before the reforms of the Second Vatican Council).<\/p>\n<p>Some highlights:<\/p>\n<p>Respondents were almost evenly split over the new translation: 47 per cent said they liked it while 51 per cent said they did not. A similar split was evident when asked about the formal style, whether they found some of the language \u201cobsequious and distracting\u201d, whether they considered the new translation more prayerful and reverent than the old.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionalists [who expressed a preference for the Extraordinary Form over the Ordinary Form] overwhelmingly expressed a preference for the new English translation over the old. But among respondents who prefer the Ordinary Form, only 37 per cent of these liked the new translation. Only 36 per cent believed it to be an improvement on the old one and 61 per cent said it urgently needed to be revised.<\/p>\n<p>Seventy per cent of clergy who participated in the survey disliked the new text. Almost three-quarters (72 per cent) found some of the language obsequious and distracting. Two-thirds of priests found the new text less prayerful. Fewer than a third considered the new text an improvement, and 70 per cent felt it urgently needed to be revised.<\/p>\n<p>Four out of five \u2013 80 per cent \u2013 of vowed religious did not like the new translation and the same proportion did not believe that it was more prayerful and reverent. Given a choice, 81 per cent would opt for Mass in the previous English version.<\/p>\n<p>See a fuller report <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetablet.co.uk\/article\/163789\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catholic opinion remains split down the middle over the new English text of the Mass, an online survey by <i>The Tablet<\/i> has revealed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[24],"tags":[207,436,319,825,430,477],"class_list":["post-17754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-translation-new-missal","tag-extraordinary-form","tag-missal-implementation","tag-missal-translation","tag-surveys-polls","tag-the-tablet","tag-translation-issues"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tablet Survey: Laity split over new Mass translation, clergy and religious mostly reject it, support high among Latin Mass traditionalists - 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\/2013\/02\/07\/tablet-survey-laity-split-over-new-mass-translation-clergy-and-religious-reject-it-support-for-it-high-among-latin-mass-traditionalists\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tablet Survey: Laity split over new Mass translation, clergy and religious mostly reject it, support high among Latin Mass traditionalists - Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Catholic opinion remains split down the middle over the new English text of the Mass, an online survey by The Tablet has revealed.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2013\/02\/07\/tablet-survey-laity-split-over-new-mass-translation-clergy-and-religious-reject-it-support-for-it-high-among-latin-mass-traditionalists\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-02-07T17:50:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-06-04T20:30:11+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=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2013\\\/02\\\/07\\\/tablet-survey-laity-split-over-new-mass-translation-clergy-and-religious-reject-it-support-for-it-high-among-latin-mass-traditionalists\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2013\\\/02\\\/07\\\/tablet-survey-laity-split-over-new-mass-translation-clergy-and-religious-reject-it-support-for-it-high-among-latin-mass-traditionalists\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1f253be22c50796444dc3d93f75cb50a\"},\"headline\":\"Tablet Survey: Laity split over new Mass translation, clergy and religious mostly reject it, support high among Latin Mass traditionalists\",\"datePublished\":\"2013-02-07T17:50:15+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-06-04T20:30:11+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2013\\\/02\\\/07\\\/tablet-survey-laity-split-over-new-mass-translation-clergy-and-religious-reject-it-support-for-it-high-among-latin-mass-traditionalists\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":315,\"commentCount\":80,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Extraordinary Form\",\"Missal Implementation\",\"Missal Translation\",\"Surveys &amp;
