Has the Catholic Church ever thought of replacing the prayer “Tower of ivory, pray for us” in the Litany of Loreto?
The short answer is no.
There is no need to replace or even suppress the invocation “Tower of ivory, Pray for us” from the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Maryalso known as the Litany of Loreto (Litaniae lauretanae).
Besides the image of an ivory tower is used in the Bible in the Song of Solomon to describe a woman’s purity.
Ivory tower means a place where one may exist, isolated from the cares of the real world and everyday life. Academics, philosophers and artists are sometimes accused of living in ivory towers, meaning that their ways of thinking are not practical in real-world situations. The image of an ivory tower is used in the Bible in the Song of Solomon to describe a woman’s purity. The modern meaning of the term ivory tower first appears in France in the 1830s as tour d’ivoire to mean an impractical dreamer. The phrase migrated into the English language fifty years later, the meaning possibly reinforced by the appearance of the Hawksmoor Towers at Oxford University’s All Souls’ College which were probably close to an ivory color when the term ivory tower entered the English language. The phrase is sometimes rendered capitalized as in Ivory Tower, but most dictionaries prefer the lowercase form.
