Rather, many of us prefer the text ICEL created from 1982-1998 and all the bishops approved, but the Holy See threw out. It was much higher quality English &#8211; good, idiomatic, poetic, not in forced or stilted Latinate syntax.<\/p>\n<p>Eminent translator Ronald Knox said that you can have a literal translation or a literate translation, but you can&#8217;t have both. Dwight Longecker, convert from high-church Anglicanism, has written that the new text &#8220;sounds like an eighth grader trying to write Shakespeare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m all for high quality language and transcendence. But if we want that, we have to get to the root of the problem: the 2001 translation guidelines &#8220;Liturgiam authenticam,&#8221; imposed by the Holy See with no consultation of bishops&#8217; conferences, ICEL, or even the US cardinal who was member of the Congregation for Divine Worship (!). Chant scholar and liturgical traditionalist Peter Jeffrey has written that LA is the most uninformed document ever issued by the Holy See and it should be summarily withdrawn. These guidelines will never give us good, poetic English.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>awr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The April edition of Adoremus, edited by Helen Hull Hitchcock, is available online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[24],"tags":[429,1192],"class_list":["post-8649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-translation-new-missal","tag-adoremus","tag-russell-shaw"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
