The New Roman Missal: A selection of America's coverage

Beginning in Advent of 2011, the U.S. church will be using a new English translation of the Roman Missal. The current translation was promulgated in 1973, and for the past past several years the International Commission on English has been working on a new text. The controversy surrounding this translation, including the decision not to use a text proposed by an earlier iteration of ICEL, has been well documented in America. Here we offer a selection of our coverage from both our print and online editions. Cardinal Roger M. Mahony's essay on the new Missal, "A Graced Moment," appears in the May 23 issue.

A Children’s Crusade Re “Grading the Missal” (5/28): My fear is that the ancient rule “Lex orandi, lex credendi” (the rule of prayer is the rule of faith) will prove all too true, and we will begin to imagine and relate to the formal, distant deity enshrined in our litu
