Prior even to the Church’s teaching on morality, there is an objective order of right and wrong. Reason can recognize this order. Reason can embrace this order and build a just society. Within this objective order of right and wrong, some rights take precedence over another. For example, the right to defend one’s own life against an unjust aggressor takes precedence over the rights of the aggressor. In the objective order of truth, the right to life is fundamental.
We are at a new moment in the liturgical renewal initiated by Vatican II’s document Sacrosanctum Concilium, the decree on the liturgy. The Church is now preparing new translations of the prayers used in liturgy.
