Liturgical correctness
Christian Century, July 12, 2005
LITURGICAL CORRECTNESS: "Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again" is a familiar phrase in the Catholic mass, as well as in many Protestant liturgies. But a new translation of the mass from the Vatican expunges these lines because they do not speak of the congregation's participation in the mass and are therefore "theologically insufficient." The U.S.
bishops, however, have voted to keep the traditional wording, arguing that dropping it would not be understood by the rank and file. Besides, said one layperson, there are so many other, more compelling issues facing the Catholic Church (RNS, June 17).
