Pope Francis issued a Motu Proprio on Saturday entitled,\u00a0\u201cMagnum principium\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0which refers to the translation of liturgical texts.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Motu Proprio<\/strong>\u00a0is a special document, or apostolic letter, issued by the Pope on his own initiative and signed by him.<\/p>\n

In the document Pope Francis writes that, taking into account the experience of the Second Vatican Council with regard to\u00a0liturgical translations<\/strong>, it seemed opportune that some principles handed on since that time, \u201cshould be more clearly reaffirmed and put into practice\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments<\/strong><\/a>, the Vatican department responsible for publishing the document, \u201cMagnum principium\u201d alters certain norms of Canon 838 of the Code of Canon Law regarding the translation of liturgical texts into modern languages.<\/p>\n

Improving definition of roles\"AP4128239_Articolo\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a separate note, the Congregation for Divine Worship points out that, \u201cthe object of the changes is to define better the roles of the Apostolic See and the Conferences of Bishops in respect to their\u00a0proper competencies<\/strong>\u00a0which are different yet remain complementary. They are called to work in a spirit of dialogue regarding the translation of the typical Latin books as well as for any eventual adaptations that could touch on rites and texts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the encounter between liturgy and culture\u201d, the note continues, \u201cthe Apostolic See is called to review and evaluate such adaptations in order to safeguard the substantial unity of the Roman Rite\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rendering the text fully and faithfully<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the heavy responsibility of translation entrusted to the Bishops\u2019 Conferences, the Motu Proprio itself points out that these Conferences \u201cmust ensure and establish that, while the character of\u00a0each language is safeguarded<\/strong>, the sense of the original text should be rendered fully and faithfully\u201d.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the Motu Proprio provides that the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments will also \u201cmodify its own Rules and Regulations on the basis of the new discipline and help the Episcopal Conferences to fulfill their task\u201d.<\/p>\n
