 <\/p>\n

Pray Tell<\/em> asked Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta, chair of the Committee on Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), for his reaction to Pope Francis\u2019s motu proprio<\/a> on translation, and the pope’s recent clarification<\/a> sent to Cardinal Sarah.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Gregory told Pray Tell,<\/em><\/p>\n

I warmly welcome the Holy Father’s recent Motu Proprio and his subsequent statement of clarification. These are a very helpful set of guidelines for Episcopal Conferences in reference to the preparation of liturgical translations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asked about the implications for forthcoming translation action, for example the translation of the rite of baptism which was recently completed in accord with Liturgiam authenticam, <\/em>Gregory said:<\/p>\n

As the Chair of the USCCB Divine Worship Committee, I will ask that the members of the Committee review this matter along with our consultants at our next meeting. We have already been in dialogue with the Canonical Affairs Committee so that we can approach these issues with a common vision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Speaking at a conference<\/a> on the Second Vatican Council in March, 2014, Archbishop Gregory said this about the 2011 English Missal<\/em> which is a product the \u201cnew era of liturgical renewal\u201d called for in Liturgiam authenticam:<\/em><\/p>\n

Certainly the new translation is not\u2026 [pause] \u2026 without its difficulties. How\u2019s that for being diplomatic? [laughter] … \u00a0I like to look at translation as an art \u2013 it\u2019s not a science. And it has to be sensitive not just to words, but to culture and to context. \u2026 What we need to do now, after a period of time of living with it, come back and say, not: \u201cWe told you so!\u201d \u2013 which I think a lot of pastors want to say \u2013 \u201cWe told you not to do that!\u201d [laughter]\u2013 but to say, \u201cIt\u2019s inadequate for this reason, that reason, this reason; we\u2019ve tried it, we\u2019ve lived with it, we think it needs correction.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
