Description: The author of “A Chant Historian Reads Liturgiam Authenticam,” a forthcoming paper to be published in four installments, will lead a discussion of issues raised by the Vatican’s 2001 statement on liturgical translation, comparing modern and traditional approaches to Biblical interpretation, literalism, gender-inclusive vocabulary, classical and colloquial style, and the uses of Latin and vernacular in the history of the Roman rite.
