There is a solution to the Missal situation which is surprisingly easy, and the result would be, as we say in Minnesota, not half bad. It\u2019s this: keep the revised Order of Mass of 2011 with its congregational parts, and plug in the priest\u2019s parts from the 1998 translation.<\/p>\n

That might sound like an odd hybrid, and there would be just a bit of inconsistency, but I think it would be workable. And to put it in crassly political terms, it could be a unifier because, when the dust had settled, there wouldn\u2019t be clear winners and losers. Isn\u2019t it high time we think about bringing reconciliation and unity to an area marked by so much rancor and division<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Quick review: 1974 Sacramentary <\/i>is the previous translation, rather flat with its simple language. 1998 Sacramentary<\/i> is the one experts worked on for some 17 years and all the bishops\u2019 conferences of the English-speaking world approved, but Rome rejected. The 2011 Missal<\/i> is in part the product of ICEL\u2019s work in accord with the controversial 2001 Roman document Liturgiam authenticam,<\/i> but much of 2011 is scarred by the 10,000+ changes which Rome (and its committee Vox Clara)<\/i> made at the last minute.<\/p>\n

1974:<\/strong> (Collect, I Advent)\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAll-powerful God, increase our strength of will<\/em>
\n for doing good<\/em>
\n that Christ may find an eager welcome at his coming<\/em>
\n and call us to his side in the kingdom of heaven.<\/em><\/p>\n

1998:<\/strong>
\nAlmighty God, strengthen the resolve<\/em>
\n of your faithful people<\/em>
\n to prepare for the coming of your Christ<\/em>
\n by works of justice and mercy,<\/em>
\n so that when we go forth to meet him<\/em>
\n he may call us to sit at his right hand<\/em>
\n and possess the kingdom of heaven.<\/em><\/p>\n

2011:<\/strong>
\nGrant your faithful, we pray, almighty God,<\/em>
\n the resolve to run forth<\/em>
\n to meet your Christ<\/em>
\n with righteous deeds at his coming,<\/em>
\n so that, gathered at his right hand,<\/em>
\n they may be worthy<\/em>
\n to possess the heavenly kingdom.<\/em><\/p>\n

As you see, the 1998 presidential texts are quite formal and elevated, making them much closer to 2011 than 1974. Most everyone would agree that the English in 1998 is poetically better than 2011.<\/p>\n

To explain the win\/win of this proposal, I will use the handy terms, however inadequate, \u201ctraditionalist\u201d and \u201cprogressive.\u201d Though I’m sure there are people who hold all sorts of combinations of positions that don’t fit into these two categories, I’ll use the terms here to describe the people who liked 1998 (I’m calling them progressives) and those who defend 2011 (I’m calling them traditionalists). I know, I know, there are people of quite conservative sensitivities who support 1998, and some progressives who had this or that problem with 1998, but go with it for the sake of my argument.<\/p>\n

The win\/win is this: the progressives who like 1998 would shout a cry of joy to see its presidential texts come in, but the traditionalists who have felt obligated to defend 2011 would concede that they are getting most of what they wanted in terms of more formal and elevated language. 1998 is a far cry from the 1974 which they (and not only they) disliked. And the traditionalists are also getting much by way of accurate translation of the Latin, for 1998 is generally very accurate. And if they\u2019re honest (and have been reading Pray Tell)<\/i>, traditionalists know that Vox Clara introduced inaccuracies into 2011 all over the place. And of course the traditionalists are getting the revised Order of Mass with \u201cand with your spirit\u201d and \u201cunder my roof\u201d and all the rest.<\/p>\n

This sounds like a simple cut and paste, 2011 plus 1998, but there would be some decisions to make and a few details to iron out. This is why it would probably take more like three years than one. (I\u2019ve already worked it all out and will be waiting by in phone in case anyone in Rome or DC wishes to ring me up.) The 1998 prefaces already begin nicely with \u201cIt is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,\u201d which would preserve the lovely transition from the new congregational response \u201cIt is right and just.\u201d But where 1998 leaves out some of the angels and powers at the end, it should be no problem to plug in the last bit from 2011 with a fairly seamless fit. I\u2019d keep the new, more elaborate preface chant tone from 2011 and fit it to the 1998 preface texts, perhaps with some slight editing of the 2011 endings for normal English word order and good word accent distribution.<\/p>\n

The heart of this proposal is the introduction into the 2011 Missal of four things from 1998: the Collect, Prayer over the Offerings, Preface, and Prayer after Communion. But there are nooks and crannies in the Roman Missal, various proper and particular texts in the course of the liturgical year. Solemn blessings, for example. These all would have to be dealt with, but it shouldn\u2019t take that long.<\/p>\n

One might want to adjust the 2011 Order of Mass here and there, e.g. by changing \u201cconsubstantial\u201d to \u201cof one substance\u201d to throw a bone to the progressives, but I suspect most of them wouldn\u2019t insist on this if it were the price to pay to be rid of the 2011 presidential texts. And I would settle for having just one collect option, the 1998 translation of the Latin collect, but the bishops might be feeling generous and re-approve the 3-year cycle of original collect texts they once approved many years ago which matches the readings in the 3-year lectionary. (Liturgiam authenticam<\/i> allows for such original texts not based on Latin, by the way.)<\/p>\n

Perhaps the 2011 Eucharistic Prayers would need to be smoothed out a bit, but their more formal tone could be preserved for the most part.<\/p>\n

There might be some light editing of the 1998 presidential texts here and there, but I\u2019m pretty optimistic it could be run through quickly. Maybe a word or phrase here or there in 1998 would have to be made more faithful to the Latin, but it would have to be without loss of the beautiful flow of the 1998 text. Some of the \u201cinclusive language\u201d of 1998 might need to be \u201cun-inclusified\u201d \u2013 and this might be advisable to appease the traditionalists and reassure them that their many and loud criticisms of the 1998 text were heard. I suspect progressives could accept some compromise on this front as long as 1998 is substantially preserved.<\/p>\n

There is the issue of size and weight of the book. Though the Latin missal is a one-volume book, there is no reason, save extreme legalism of the pre-Francis curial variety, why a vernacular Missal can\u2019t appear in two volumes, one for Sunday and one for everything else. Call it the \u201cacolytes\u2019 arms relief indult.\u201d<\/p>\n

If this thing took about 3 years to work out, it would mean that the 2011 Missal lasted about 5 to 6 years \u2013 which is still longer than some of those interim missals right after Vatican Two. There is precedent for the timeframe. And publishers like Liturgical Press wouldn\u2019t mind at all a new press run! (They\u2019re not paying me to make this proposal).<\/p>\n

Pastorally, the transition to this new Missal would be quite painless. The people in the pews would hardly notice, since their texts aren\u2019t changing. Priests would notice \u2013 and they\u2019re the ones who dislike the new text and would be most happy to have better and more sensible and more beautiful English to proclaim. One would say as little as possible to the people \u2013 perhaps a brief notice that the new Missal has proven itself and the new texts have become known and accepted by people, and now some slight improvements are being made to the priest\u2019s texts, without bringing up the whole sordid behind-the-scenes saga of what happened to ICEL under Cardinal Medina and all the rest. Or maybe one could get away with saying nothing at all to the people?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been around the block enough by now to know that when I make a grand\u00a0proposal such as this, which is the high middle ground destined to unite everyone in perfect peace, with me as the hero who saved the day, the result rather is that I\u2019m fired on from all sides.<\/p>\n

I’m ready. Fire away.<\/p>\n
