cappie Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The latin words are "pro multis" which literally means "for the many" this was then rendered to mean "for all" which has caused much ink to be spilt over the time the translation came out. It has still not be resolved according to some. The new unofficial translation which went out to the bishops this year for comment and was done according to the "new rules" and under the watchfulness of the Vox Clare Committee continued the practice of saying "for all" instead of "for the many". No doubt it will still be discussed!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
