![]() ![]() Those of you who are regular readers will find these posts disjointed and deadly dull. ![]() This can take hours.įrom now on, as my contribution to the Internet, whenever I translate one of these obscure documents, I am going to post the Latin text and the translation to this blog. When that fails (and it usually does), I have to go to the Latin text (which is online, albeit illegally) and translate it for myself. So, not infrequently, I find myself reading a Vatican document, encountering a citation that records nothing but a Denzinger number, and then spending an hour searching the internet for an English translation of that number. (If you are a wealthy person, feel free to send Ignatius Press $65 for their up-to-date translation of Denzinger.) These documents are almost always found somewhere in the great compilation Enchiridion Symbolorum, by Denzinger, but, as the Vatican Printing Office continues its near-criminal profit-mongering with the Deposit of Faith, large chunks of Denzinger’s great work are not actually online - at least, not in English. I am Catholic, and I care a lot about the intricacies of Catholic teaching, so, from time to time, I am forced to look up very old, not very prominent Church documents, from papal allocutions to Decrees of the Holy Office.
