USCCB blog: 10 things Catholics need to know about the new translation of Missal

As we hit the two-month mark before implementation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition on Nov. 27, the first Sunday of Advent, the USSCB Media Blog has a list of 10 things Catholics should know about the new English translation. Here are the first three:

1. It is not a new Mass, it is a new translation for a new edition of the Missal.

2. The translation of the new Roman Missal was carried out under the newest Vatican guidelines for translating prayers into modern local (i.e., vernacular) languages.

3. The new English-language Missal also includes Vatican-approved adaptations requested by the Bishops of the United States as well as texts for observances that are proper to the United States.
