"Pro Multis" Means "For Many," Not "For All" Vatican Rules...

"My children, your doctrines of faith have been given to you, the dogmas of your religion, and you cannot change them without bringing destruction upon yourself and My Son's Church.
     "My Son died for mankind upon the cross--He died for all men, but all shall not enter unless they are converted from their sins.  The word 'many,' My children, is always more appropriate, for all have not entered and all shall not enter into the Kingdom of eternal life.  Many have fallen into hell, forever damned." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 27, 1978

Catholic World News reported on November 18, 2006:

The Vatican has ruled that the phrase pro multis should be rendered as "for many" in all new translations of the Eucharistic Prayer, CWN has learned.

Although "for many" is the literal translation of the Latin phrase, the translations currently in use render the phrase as "for all." Equivalent translations (für alle; por todos; per tutti) are in use in several other languages.

Cardinal Francis Arinze, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, has written to the heads of world's episcopal conferences, informing them of the Vatican decision. For the countries where a change in translation will be required, the cardinal's letter directs the bishops to prepare for the introduction of a new translation of the phrase in approved liturgical texts "in the next one or two years."

The translation of pro multis has been the subject of considerable debate because of the serious theological issues involved. The phrase occurs when the priest consecrates the wine, saying (in the current translation):

...It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven.

The Latin version of the Missal, which sets the norm for the Roman liturgy, says:

...qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.

"He was offered but once to bear the sins of many.  Why does he [St. Paul] say, 'of many,' and not 'for all'? Because not all had faith.  Although He died for all, as far as He is concerned, to save all, His death voiding the downfall of all mankind, yet He did not take away the sins of all, because they themselves did not want Him to do this."  

- St. John Chrysostom, exegesis of Heb. 9:28. 

Critics of the current translation have argued, since it first appeared, that rendering pro multis as "for all" not only distorts the meaning of the Latin original, but also conveys the impression that all men are saved, regardless of their relationship with Christ and his Church. The more natural translation, "for many," more accurately suggests that while Christ's redemptive suffering makes salvation available to all, it does not follow that all men are saved.

Cardinal Arinze, in his letter to the presidents of episcopal conferences, explains the reasons for the Vatican's decision to require

  • The Synoptic Gospels (Mt 26,28; Mk 14,24) make specific reference to “many” for whom the Lord is offering the Sacrifice, and this wording has been emphasized by some biblical scholars in connection with the words of the prophet Isaiah (53, 11-12). It would have been entirely possible in the Gospel texts to have said “for all” (for example, cf. Luke 12,41); instead, the formula given in the institution narrative is “for many”, and the words have been faithfully translated thus in most modern biblical versions.
     
  • The Roman Rite in Latin has always said pro multis and never pro omnibus in the consecration of the chalice.
     
  • The anaphoras of the various Oriental Rites, whether in Greek, Syriac, Armenian, the Slavic languages, etc., contain the verbal equivalent of the Latin pro multis in their respective languages.
     
  • “For many” is a faithful translation of pro multis, whereas “for all” is rather an explanation of the sort that belongs properly to catechesis.
     
  • The expression “for many”, while remaining open to the inclusion of each human person, is reflective also of the fact that this salvation is not brought about in some mechanistic way, without one’s willing or participation; rather, the believer is invited to accept in faith the gift that is being offered and to receive the supernatural life that is given to those who participate in this mystery, living it out in their lives as well so as to be numbered among the “many” to whom the text refers.
     
  • In line with the instruction Liturgiam Authenticam, effort should be made to be more faithful to the Latin texts in the typical editions.

"You must not compromise My Son's Church by bringing in the measure of humanism and modernism, for you have opened the door to satan.
     "Do not be swayed by the fallacy that all will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, for only 'many,' My children, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven--if they follow the rule." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 13, 1975

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/default.htm 
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

"ONLY  MANY  WERE  READY"
"My children, the Eternal Father in the Trinity has deemed it well that I come to you as a Mediatrix between God and man. Having been a mother upon earth with a human nature also, I understand your failings; I understand your trials, but you can rise above them with prayer and acts of sacrifice. You, too, can be recovered if you will try and ask to be saved. The Eternal Father has created every living being upon earth, and as a good Father, a loving Father, He wishes that all are saved. But it is a sad truth, My child and My children: though He wishes all to be saved, only a few will be saved.
     "He died, My Son, a torturous death of heart and body upon the cross, for all. But only many were ready, and only many could be called."  - Our Lady, May 30, 1978 

"ONLY  MANY  HAVE  CHOSEN  IT"
"My child, words can never express the anguish in the hearts of those in the Kingdom.
     "Your world is in deep darkness of spirit. The abyss is open wide and the souls are falling fast into eternal damnation. Born of a free will, you will make your own choice. The Kingdom of Heaven was made for all, but only many have chosen it. The Kingdom of Heaven must be gained through merit and grace. You have been given the way. My Mother has been sent among you as a Mediatrix. Her words must not be taken lightly."  -  Jesus, December 28, 1974 

THE  TRAP  SET  BY  SATAN
"In your arrogance, you apostatize! In your arrogance, you cast aside all knowledge of the existence of satan and his hell! Too late shall you learn that there is a hell and there is a purgatory!
     "Do not fall into the trap set by satan by misleading you into a false security because of My Sacrifice for mankind to open the gates of the Kingdom of your God. Many are called, but few are chosen. My Sacrifice guaranteed eternal life to all, but all shall not enter, for many have rejected the message of your God from the beginning of time and they did not enter!
     "You have a false security that all is forgiven. But is this not sheer insanity in sin to believe that you may offend your God and break His rules and enter? What manner of life would there be in your Kingdom of Heaven? All will enter by merit! Many shall enter through suffering and atonement and penance."  - Jesus, February 10, 1976 

A  LIE  STRAIGHT  FROM  SATAN
"Do not fall into the error and fallacy that all men are automatically saved by My Sacrifice upon your earth. It is a lie straight from the darkness, from the prince of darkness, satan. Heaven was opened to all, but all shall not enter it, for many reject the light and do not have the time to return to it before they cross over into eternity."  - Jesus, October 2, 1976 

ONLY  A  REMNANT
"My Son gave His life for you all, but all shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. For many are called but only few are chosen. In the final count, My children, there will be only a remnant who will enter the Kingdom."  - Our Lady, March 25, 1978
