By Christa Pongratz-Lippitt.\u00a0<\/em>From\u00a0La Croix International<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Catholic bishops in the German-speaking countries of Europe have been at odds with the Vatican for years over a controversial and never-implemented translation of the Missal, the Latin prototype for the celebration of the Roman Catholic liturgy.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s bishops never even mentioned the disputed translation last month in the final report of the national episcopal conference\u2019s autumn plenary. Instead, they thanked Pope Francis at length for his recent \u201cmotu proprio\u201d Magnum principium, which gives such conferences greater authority over liturgical translations.<\/p>\n

They also expressed gratitude that the pope had once again underlined, as he did in his 2013 exhortation Evangelii gaudium, that the \u201cgenuine doctrinal authority\u201d of episcopal conferences needs to be more fully elaborated (EG 32). And they said the liturgy commissions of all the various German-speaking conferences would now begin discussing Magnum principium and its consequences in detail.<\/p>\n

The German bishops\u2019 president, Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich, said the first reaction he and his confreres had to the new \u201cmoto proprio\u201d was a sense of \u201chuge relief\u201d.<\/p>\n

During a press conference at the end of the September 25-28 plenary assembly, he said he believed the Congregation for Divine Worship (CDW) had taken too narrow a view on liturgical translations in the norms it issued in 2001 with the document, Liturgiam authenticam. The cardinal pointed to the long ordeal of producing the English translation of the Missal, saying he thought it was \u201caltogether excessive\u201d the way the Vatican had insisted on a strictly literal rendering of the Latin.<\/p>\n

Cardinal Marx revealed that some of the English-speaking bishops had turned to him for help and that even he found it hard to pray some of the prayers in their Missal.\u201c<\/p>\n

The language is simply unacceptable,\u201d he said.\u201cLiturgiam authenticam was a dead end. Rome is responsible for dogmatic interpretations but not for matters of style. Now, thanks to Magnum principium, the bishops\u2019 conferences have far greater freedom,\u201d the cardinal added.<\/p>\n

He agreed that it was legitimate to revise the Missal translations every 40 or 50 years, but he said he does not see any hurry for a new German translation. He said the present translation dating back to 1976 wasn\u2019t \u201cthat bad\u201d. However, he added that the conference\u2019s liturgy commission would discuss the subject of a possible new translation at its next session.<\/p>\n

The majority of German-speaking bishops have always been in favor of leaving the final translation of Latin liturgical texts to the national conferences. To the surprise of some, this also included the late Cardinal Joachim Meisner of Cologne, one of the four conservative cardinals that signed the now-famous dubia challenging the pope\u2019s document on marriage and the family.<\/p>\n

Meisner headed the German conference\u2019s liturgy commission for over 20 years (from 1989 until 2014) and was also chairman of Ecclesia celebrans, the CDW-sponsored committee similar to Vox clara (for English) that\u2019s been responsible for revising the German Missal translation.<\/p>\n

The late cardinal and close ally of Benedict XVI actually led the German bishops\u2019 first open clash with the Vatican over the translation of the funeral rites that Rome published in 2009. After protests from all over the German-speaking countries erupted in 2010, Meisner announced that the new translation had \u201cfailed\u201d and that the German bishops were extending the use of the version from the early 1970s.\u201c<\/p>\n

In their language area, the bishops have the final responsibility for the liturgy,\u201d he told domradio.de at the time. And he stressed that, on no account, should the Latin be translated literally.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the new German translation of the Eucharistic Prayer \u2013 which includes the Vatican-imposed change of pro multis from \u201cfor all\u201d to the strictly literal \u201cfor many\u201d \u2013 has still not been approved by the bishops\u2019 conferences. And yet it appears in the 3.5m copies of the revised German hymnbook, which contains the Order of the Mass and is known as the Gotteslob (\u201cPraise of the Lord\u201d).The new books were supposed to be introduced in all German-speaking countries on the first Sunday of Advent in 2013. But opposition to the new translation remained strong.<\/p>\n

Already in March 2012, the then-president of the German bishops\u2019 conference, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch of Freiburg, told Pope Benedict XVI on a visit to Rome that the new text could cause a split in the German-speaking countries. He said many bishops and priests would not accept \u201cfor many\u201d and intended to continuing using \u201cfor all\u201d.<\/p>\n

At that point Benedict wrote a four-page letter (14 April 2012) to the German bishops in the form of a catechesis, explaining in detail why the Holy See wanted to revert to \u201cfor many\u201d. He urged the bishops to use his catechesis to prepare priests and the laity for the new translation.<\/p>\n

Some months later, in October 2012, two senior clerics in Germany and Austria \u2013 Cardinal Karl Lehmann of Mainz (former German conference president) and Archbishop Alois Kothgasser of Salzburg \u2013 took issue with Benedict\u2019s decision on the pro multis question.<\/p>\n

The cardinal told German state radio that the increase in Vatican influence was \u201cmost worrying\u201d. The fact that Rome had \u201cpettily censored\u201d the German Missal translation was a \u201cbreach of the right to liturgy\u201d, which \u201cone shouldn\u2019t really put up with\u201d. He also emphasized that \u201cthe style of church leadership must change\u201d. For his part, Archbishop Kothgasser told a meeting of deans that Benedict XVI\u2019s decision to revert to \u201cfor many\u201d was not an \u201cofficial decision\u201d and that he would prefer to continue using \u201cfor all\u201d. As the date of publication drew near, a few overly eager traditional priests began using the new translation out of anticipatory obedience. In April 2013 the Austrian bishops\u2019 conference, therefore, issued a clarification stipulating that the only permitted translation of pro multis was \u201cfor all\u201d. The conference emphasized that the Missal of 1975 remained binding.<\/p>\n

Then new hymnbook was finally published. And it contains the never-approved translation of the Order of Mass, including \u201cfor many\u201d in the Eucharistic Prayer. Thus it also includes a notice explicitly stating that only the older (1970s) and current translation is valid \u2013 not the words in the new book.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this has created some confusion for churchgoers in German-speaking countries. But their bishops seem convinced that they can resolve the situation by exercising the greater authority and freedom Pope Francis has now granted them.<\/p>\n
