Thanks to Columcille of Fumare for sending me this link to an interesting post on his site: The Next Great Threshold of the Liturgical Renewal
The post includes some interesting bits of information he derived from "a lecture given by members of the ICEL committee working on the new missal – Archbishop Coleridge of Canberra (Benedict’s first Australian appointment) and Monsignor Bruce Harbert, Executive Director of the ICEL Secretariat..."
Columcille summarizes his take on what these ICEL members said with regard to the English version of the modern Roman missal. It makes for interesting reading.
