In 2015, Dunn expressed dissatisfaction with the English version of the Mass in use since November 2011. Dunn had served as New Zealand’s representative on the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL), which had produced a translation of the Roman Missal in 1998 after 17 years of effort. The Congregation for Divine Worship had rejected that translation, formed its own committee, and produced the translation now in use. Dunn wrote that it was “too often unclear and sometimes verging on the unintelligible”, “an accurate English translation of the Latin, but not a clear and beautiful vernacular text”. He proposed a new translation be undertaken and has suggested that all the English-speaking bishops’ conferences agree to pursue this in concert. New Zealand’s bishops first endorsed instead efforts to establish different guidelines for translation rather than a new translation, and in 2017 welcomed Pope Francis’ establishment of a commission to review the standards followed in rejecting the 1998 translation. Dunn said the idea was to avoid rules that “impose Latin syntax on contemporary English”.
