I think the bishops just had a tin ear and were deliberately trying to "modernize" the language.

The older translation of the Latin Mass is much better.

I don't like the '79 translation because it's theologically unsound . . . and clunky.

The Anglican Use Rite is the way to go . . . all the benefits of the 1928 BCP and Catholic too!

I think the bishops, and many clergy, have a modern view of any art: words, music or architecture. They prefer the ugly to the beautiful.
