In an interview just published in America<\/a>, Archbishop Wilton Gregory, chair of the US bishops’ committee on liturgy, said this about a reexamination of the 2011 Roman Missal translation:<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a review. I don\u2019t believe that the American bishops have the stomach to start from ground zero. But I do believe that given the right structures, which would include the pastors, the guys on the firing line, a review of how these texts are being received, what\u2019s problematic, what\u2019s working, what\u2019s better, what\u2019s not better, would be helpful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Archbishop Gregory is known as one at least somewhat critical of the Missal translation, which was carried out according to the controversial Roman document\u00a0Liturgiam authenticam<\/em> of 2011.\u00a0Pray Tell\u00a0<\/em>reported earlier<\/a>\u00a0on Gregory\u2019s statement that the Missal has \u201cflaws and difficulties\u201d and \u201cneeds correction.\u201d When asked about the new Missal at a conference in March, 2014,\u00a0Gregory said this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Certainly the new translation is not\u2026\u00a0[pause]\u00a0<\/i>\u2026 without its difficulties. How\u2019s that for being diplomatic?\u00a0[laughter]<\/i>\u00a0I think that what we need to do with that translation, to be perfectly honest, its imposition,\u00a0[correcting himself]<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 it\u2019s in possession, we need to live with it for a while before we take up the task of saying, \u201cThis is not adequate to the worship needs of our church, for this reason, for that reason, for this reason,\u201d the pastors of the church have said, \u201cThis is a difficulty, that is a difficulty, let\u2019s look at it.\u201d I think what we had to do was receive it, try to live with it, and come up with a much better and informed review of its flaws and difficulties. \u2026<\/p>\n

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\u00a0[laughter]\u00a0<\/i>\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

Pope Francis issued the document\u00a0Magnum Principium<\/em> on September 9, 2017, rolling back some of the Roman centralism of the 2001 guidelines and following the decisions of the Second Vatican Council to entrust bishops’ conferences with translation, as Pray Tell<\/em> reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
