e RENEWAL BUT New Canons NOT REVOLUTION SAYS POPE PAUL .04.4 , 041.4.4,11 , 11.4M4,.
The Church is anxious for renewal and change but not at the expense of a break with its great tradition, Pope Paul VI said in a r ecent general audience. p#4 , ,,,,ININON".41,41.04NS
T HE POPE, SPEAKING TO THOUSANDS IN ST. PETER'S B ASILICA, DEVOTED HIMSELF TO THE THEME OF NEW THINGS OR NOVELTY AND CHANGE IN THE CHURCH IN THE PERIOD FOLLOWING THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL. HE NOTED THAT A NUMBER OF CHANGES HAVE ALREADY FOLLOWED ON THE COUNCIL AND THAT MORE ARE TO COME IN TIME. However, he cautioned against embracing novelty or change for the sake of change alone. As he put it: "In itself novelty means change. Change must be judged not only in itself as regards its content and purpose. Does what is new today lead us to a better Christianity?" While welcoming renewal the Church finds the question of the "new" extremely complex, said the Pope. He added that "the new cannot be produced in the Church by a break with tradition. "The revolutionary mentality has penetrated considerably the mentality of Christians too, of good Christians.

The official English text of the new Eucharist Prayers and Prefaces and the revised English text of the Roman Canon will be available this week. They are being issued by the authority of the Australian Bishops and being published by E. J. Dwyer Pty. Ltd., Box 492, Post Office, Darlinghurst. 2010. The Altar Missal Insert is being issued for use by Priests at Mass as well as a leaflet for the people. The revised text of the Roman Canon by permission of the Holy See, includes changes which will become obligatory for the rest of the world on the First Sunday of Advent. The Australian Bishops obtained permission to introduce these changes now, so as to avoid further changes later in the year. Prie.its and peop;e should, therefore, realise that the rev:see text of the Roman pui.alished C anon overseas at this stage differs from the revised text to be used in Australia.
