I read with
interest and great pleasure the results of a survey that was conducted by the ‘Center
for Applied Research in the Apostolate’ (CARA) in September 2012 regarding
the new English Translation of the Missal.
The survey
revealed that 70% of US Catholics agreed that overall the introduction of the
new English translation of the Missal had been a good thing. Of the Catholics who attend Mass at least
once a week, 80% were of the opinion that the new translation had been a good
thing. Amongst those Catholics who do
not frequently attend Mass, 60% were of the same opinion.
This is really
good news, especially following the significant 'noise' that preceded the launch of the new English
translation of the Missal. I am so pleased that we seem to have progressed from this because at the time it really upset me how so many Catholics were up in arms about the changes.
