Society of Saint Gregory

The previous topic got out of hand. I have locked it and started this new topic - for comment on new published settings and how they are working/being used in practice - and for nothing else.

It did make me smile though!

Did you mean to say 'much'?

NT, this thread is not really the one for that point! Of course, the Panel members are not the "working staff" of the Liturgy Office - who may well wish that they hadn't been given the extra admin involved either (although I have not heard anything from any of the staff to suggest that thi...

ICEL's role is to make translations that can be used throughout the English-speaking world, subject to variations requested by individual Bishops' Conferences which get approval.

I understand that this has been the plan for some time, but it has been on the back burner while the new Missal translation rush is taking place. Again, however, we are talking about 'only' textual and doctrinal fidelity, with no test of musical 'quality', so far as I am aware.

I would just like to thank SC for bringing us back on topic!

Can we please avoid gratuitous personal attacks. If, NT, you have evidence that SC is wrong on a point that he/she makes, by all means air it, otherwise, let's stick to the issue on the thread, which is the publications of the decisions made by the Panel, which I know a lot of people are finding hel...
