The Confraternity of Catholic Clergy voiced its support for a literal and accurate English translation of the 2000 Roman Missal.
In a recent announcement the confraternity denounced a letter that the National Coalition of American Nuns sent to the United States Council of Catholic Bishops. The letter encouraged rejecting literal accuracy in the upcoming translation of the Missal.
The Missal is the official altar book used by priests to celebrate the Mass.
Defending literal accuracy, the Confraternity called for the liturgy to be celebrated "worthily, with attention and devotion." This can only be done, the group claimed, through an accurate and literal translation from the typical Latin text.
