When Vatican II provided (to universal astonishment) that worship
might be conducted in the vernacular, there immediately arose the
question for English-speakers: What will our vernacular language of
liturgy be like? In the event the Church devised a process by which
an 'International Commission on English in the Liturgy' (ICEL)
drafted translations, and they were then approved by the
appropriate authorities in Rome. Thus the first official texts in
English came into force in 1973 and became the accustomed texts of
two generations of worshippers. Then in 2001 the Vatican
'Instruction', Liturgiam Authenticam, set out a new set of
principles for translation, not least that the language should be
more 'Latinate' and should not steer too near to texts used by
other denominations. A new ICEL was appointed, next texts were
drafted and sent to Rome for vetting and approval, and finally new
authorized English-language texts came into force in September
2011. Much of the reaction to the new texts, whether from ordinary
worshippers, journalists, theologians or English scholars, has been
adverse. So at an early stage Thomas O'Loughlin, convened a study
day with invited speakers, including both Roman Catholics and
Anglicans, in Spring 2012. Now, at the request of the Alcuin/GROW
Joint Editorial Board, Thomas O'Loughlin has edited the papers to
give them more permanent form. The result is a valuable critical
resource enunciating principles of translation and bringing the new
liturgical texts under careful professional scrutiny.
