TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
Today, the languages of the whole world arise
to God in a Pentecost of praise. In some American dioceses, the Mass is
offered every Sunday in more than thirty different languages, including
the silent praise of American Sign Language. Fifty years ago, the
landscape of liturgy was very different. It was grounded firmly in
Latin, which is to the present day still the official language of the
Roman Rite. Very few people were fluent in Latin, even though in those
days Latin was far more widely studied in school. Nevertheless, almost
every Catholic was competent in the responses and chants of Latin since
it is not difficult to pronounce. The clergy were normally minimally
competent in Latin, since much of seminary education was conducted in
that
language.
When the Second Vatican Council was convened,
all of the debate and daily work of the council was to be in Latin. In
the first session in 1962, Boston’s Cardinal Richard Cushing continually
complained about it, and threatened not to return in 1963 if something
wasn’t done. He convinced the fathers when he rose to speak in fairly
fluent Latin in an
unforgettable Boston twang. The next year, he
returned, but with a simultaneous translation system funded by the
people of Boston. The ordinary everyday language of the people, the
vernacular, had
arrived at the Vatican via Boston!
