/ PAGE 2 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1966 MONSIGNOR ELUS Suggests Change For Seminaries PORTLAND, Ore. (NC) —Msgr. John Tracy Ellis, noted historian of the Church in the United States, has called here for a re-evaluation of Catholic seminary training. Speaking at the 75th anni versary of the founding of se minaries in the Portland arch diocese (May 13), Msgr. Ellis suggested seminaries should place a stronger emphasis on the intellectual side of priestly training, that they should pro vide a better understanding of secular conditions and offer stronger courses in preaching. THESE changes, he said, would reshape seminaries "in the light of contemporary con ditions" so they can assist "priests of the future to achieve their maximum capacity in ren dering the Church relevant once again to men of the late twentieth century." The most Important need in the seminary's search for its proper aggiomamento (bringing Honor Liturgist ST. BERNARD, Ala. (NC)-- Father Godfrey Diekmann, O.S. B,, liturgy scholar, is receiving an honorary degree May 24 at St. Bernard's College here con ducted by the Benedictines. Sid ney M. Smyer, Sr., Birmingham realtor, and Carl Swisher, head of a Jacksonville, Fla., cigar making firm, both Protestants, also will receive honor degrees.

HE ASKED: "Is it not true that there are still too many seminaries where high intellec tual achievement is passed over with scant recognition: where relatively- little premium is placed on academic distinction, on the use of students’ critical facilities, on the merit of that kind of independent originality of approach that open and ex pand the mind...?*’ Referring to a seminary rec tor who said he did not en courage "A" students because they were usually trouble makers, Msgr. Ellis added: "Had the superiors of Thomas Aquinas, Robert Bellarmine and Jean Mabillon reasoned in this fashion, what a gregious loss would have been sustained by Christian through and scholar ship." MSGR. ELLIS, who will join the faculty of the Jesuit Fathers’ of San Francisco University this fall, after nearly 30 years at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C., stressed the importance of con ditioning seminarians tc/'life's grim realities into v*hich he will be plunged immediately following his ordination." "The seminary’s regime should be so ordered that those who complete its course will emerge as more than grown up boys, but rather as men— with all that the term implies by way of maturity of outlook, a keen sense of responsiblity and a consciousness of the realities of life," he said. TURNING to the need he saw for better sermons, Msgr. Ellis observed that most con gregations have a higher intel lectual capacity because of the influx of college graduates. "I am aware of no single as pect of the priestly ministry in the Church of the United States that is the subject of more pointed and sustained criticism than the ill-prepared, com monplace, and at times childish sermons which are still the norm into many parishes of the land," he said. “PET.^you bet I” PET MIM COMMfcY DAIRY OIVISION For Convenient Home Delivery In Atlanta Call 636-8677 TRANSLATION FROM LATIN Liturgy Decrees Of U.S. Bishops -roc origins of Ireland's oldect* LIGHTHOUSE, the hook tow** WAVE BiEN TRACED TO TWS 5™ CCNTURY WHEN THF PATRON SAiNf Of THE LOCALITY LIT A DEACON FiRC on the Cuffs as a warning to SHIPPING FRANCE ’T'-.&VRCWJ ry**^'* ^ R °viivcry ■tut NEW TESTAMENT WAS TRANSLATED INTO BASQUE IN 1571.

Following are translations of the two liturgical decrees adopted by the American Bish ops April 2 and confirmed by the liturgical commission at the Vatican May 1. In order that all the faith- full of Christ may be led to a full, conscious, and active par ticipation in liturgical celebra tions and may more surely at tain an abundance of grace in the liturgy, the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council has estab lished norms concerning the greater place to be attributed to the mother tongues. According to the doctrine of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy enacted by the coun cil, through signs perceived by the senses, including words, the sanctification of man is signi fied by the senses, manner pro per to the individual rites, effected. "Although the sacred liturgy is above all things the worship of the divine majesty, it likewise contains much in struction for the faithful. . , The visible signs used by the liturgy to signify invisible di vine things have been chosen by Christ or the Church. "Thus not only when things are read 'which were written for our instruction* (Rom. 15: 4), but also when the Church prays or sings or acts, the faith of those taking part is nourished and their minds are raised to God, so that they may offer Him their rational ser vice and more abundantly re ceive His grace" ART. 33). Therefore, in order to in crease the faith and the de votion of the Christian clergy and people, we, the Bishops of the dioceses of the United Sta tes of America, according to the norm of articles 22 and 36 of the constitution and virtue of power therein acknowledged as ours, decree and establish the following for our diocese: 1, The Most Sacred Mys tery of the Eucharist. According to the norm of art. 54, it is lawful to use the Eng lish language: * n a) In the lessons of Mass, namely, in the Epistle, Gospel, and other readings which on occasion precede the Epistle, all of which shall be pro claimed fittingly toward the people; b) In the parts of the Ordin ary of the Mass which pertain to the people, such as the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Pater Noster, and Agnus Dei, as well as in the Domine, non sum dig nus before the Communion of the faithful; and, according to circumstances, in the common prayer or *prayer of the faith ful*; c) In the parts of the Prop er of the Mass which pertain to the people, such as the Gra dual and other chants between the lessons, the antiphons with their Psalms at the Introit, Of fertory, and Communion, and in the various chants which may be added after the Offetory or Communion, provided that such chants are entirely suited to these parts of Mass; d) In other directions, ac clamations, and responses which pertain to the enumera ted parts. "Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing in Latin those parts of the Or dinary of the Mass which per tain to them,’* (art. 54.) 2. The Other Sacraments and the Sacramentals According to the norm of art. 63a, it is lawful to use the English language in the cele bration of the sacraments and sacramentals, including the forms of the sacraments. 3. The Divine Office According to the norm of art. 101, 2-3 it is lawful to use the English language in the entire Divine Office, but only by the laity, by nonclerical members of institutes dedicated to ac quiring perfection who are sub ject to us, and by clerics who celebrate the Office with a group of the faithful or with members of institutes dedicated to ac quiring perfection who- lawfully- use the English language. 4. These norms are valid for all liturgical services, both sung and recited, according to the norm of art. 113, unless the contrary is evident from the nature of the rite, 5. In all these cases, and al so in the Divine Office recited in the English language by cler ics in virtue of a faculty gran ted by the Ordinary according to the norm of art. 101, 1, it is lawful to use only those translations of the liturgical text into the English language which have been or will be ap proved by us, in accordance with art. 36, 4. 6. Where the true and cer tain necessity of the Church, in the judgment of the local Or dinary, requires it, with the COMPLETE TEXT Confirmation Of Liturgical Change Following i s a translation of the Latin document in which the postconciliar Commission for the Execution of the Constitu tion on the Sacred Liturgy con firmed the April 2 decrees of the American Bishops providing for introduction of the vernacu lar in the liturgy in the United States.

This is also valid for the Divine Office re cited by clerics in virtue of a faculty granted by the Ordinary according to the norm of art. 101, 1. This decree, after it has been reviewed by the Apostolic See, shall be immediately pro mulgated and shall take effect for all our dioceses only from the day, to be determined by our body of bishops, of the pub lication of the approved trans lation of the respective rite, (The second decree, specify ing the official English texts to be used, is as follows:) In accordance with art. 36, 4, of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council we, the Bish ops of the United States of America, decree that the fol lowing English versions of the liturgical texts are approved for use in the celebration of the sacred liturgy in our dioceses, within the limits established in the decree of April 2, 1964. 1.
