The revised translation is a more literal translation of the Latin and closer in style to translations in use in most European languages. For this reason, the new translation may make possible the use of bi-lingual versions of the Gloria and other Mass texts that were not possible since 1970 because the English translation differed so much from the original Latin and from the text used in other languages.
The introduction of the revised translation also provides the opportunity to reflect on all aspects of liturgical life and practice. Many dioceses are planning sessions for priests, deacons, and liturgical ministers to help in the transition.
There was a conscious attempt to eliminate, as much as possible, non-inclusive language in the revised texts and to preserve biblical and patristic references whenever possible. The introduction of the new translation also calls English-speaking Catholics to reflect on the words they use at prayer. As the American poet, Anne Sexton, once wrote, "Be careful of words, even the miraculous ones. ... Words and eggs must be handled with care. Once broken they are impossible things to repair."
