Editing Mass of Paul VI (section)

==Revision of the English translation==
The [[International Commission on English in the Liturgy]] worked for 17 years on a new translation, presented in 1998, formed in response to critiques of the earlier translation.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/01/27/why-pope-francis-right-revisit-new-mass-translation|title=Why Pope Francis is right to revisit the new Mass translation|date=27 January 2017|work=America Magazine|access-date=17 July 2017|language=en}}</ref> However, their proposed translation ran afoul of new leadership in Rome.<ref name=":2" /> On 28 March 2001, the [[Holy See]] issued the Instruction {{lang|la|[[Liturgiam authenticam]]}}, including the requirement that, in translations of the liturgical texts from the official Latin originals, "the original text, insofar as possible, must be translated integrally and in the most exact manner, without omissions or additions in terms of their content, and without paraphrases or glosses. Any adaptation to the characteristics or the nature of the various vernacular languages is to be sober and discreet." The following year, the third [[typical edition]] of the revised Roman Missal in Latin was released.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/ccdds/documents/rc_con_ccdds_doc_20010507_liturgiam-authenticam_en.html|title=Liturgiam authenticam|website=www.vatican.va}}</ref>

In 2002 the leadership of the ICEL was changed, under insistence from the Roman Congregation for Divine Worship and to obtain a translation that was as close as possible to the wording of the Latin original. In spite of push-back by some in the church,<ref name=":0" /> Rome prevailed and nine years later a new English translation, closer to that of the Latin and consequently approved by the Holy See, was adopted by English-speaking [[episcopal conference]]s.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://www.nationalcatholicreporter.org/word/word0816.htm|title=The Word From Rome|last=Allen|first=John L.|author-link=John L.

Most episcopal conferences set the first Sunday in Advent (27 November) 2011 as the date when the new translation would come into use. However, the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference (Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland) put into effect the changes in the people's parts of the revised English translation of the Order of Mass<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.bisdomoudtshoorn.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=51 | date = 2 February 2009 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090308120509/http://www.bisdomoudtshoorn.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=51 | url-status = dead | title = A pastoral response to the faithful with regard to the new English Language Mass translations | archive-date = 8 March 2009}}</ref> from 28 November 2008, when the Missal as a whole was not yet available.

In December 2016, [[Pope Francis]] authorized a commission to study {{lang|la|[[Liturgiam authenticam]]}}, the document promulgated by Pope John Paul II which governs authorized [[vernacular]] translations of the liturgy.<ref name=":1" />
