We believe that the newly approved English translation of the 2002 Missale Romanum needs to be implemented as soon as possible. We believe that the Church in English-speaking nations has waited far too long for an accurate, faithful translation of the original Latin. We believe that the current translation currently in use in English-speaking nations is overdue to be replaced, as it was developed using the method of dynamic translation, a method rejected by the Vatican in the document Liturgiam Authenticam. We stand united with the English-speaking bishops' conferences in their approval of the new translation. We oppose any efforts to continue to delay this new translation.

Seeing one thousand signatures on this petition shows how deeply many of you care about the reverence of our liturgy. I am truly humbled by this response as we seek to honor the sacred tradition of the Church.

The momentum behind this request is building as we approach our next milestone. I am asking you to pass this link to three people today so we can reach that mark before the bishops meet again.

Its time to stop the nonsense and get back to the proper latin roots. The current text just feels stripped down and empty.

FINALLY. The old way of translating really lost so much of the meaning. We need this now.

Faithful to the source material is the only way it should be. The bishops know what they are doing.

Enough waiting around. The new translation is way more respectful to the mass.
