Rome and ICEL by Donald W. Trautman, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine (2450 words) |
 | ICEL would not be permitted to compose original texts in English for consideration by a bishops’ conference. |
 | ICEL has understood these words and provided the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States as well as the other English-speaking conferences with original prayer texts that those conferences have approved. |
 | ICEL deserves the thanks of the church for having pioneered the development of a scholarly, sophisticated and systematic approach to the translation of Latin liturgical texts into English liturgical texts. |
