Overall, the new translations would change twelve of the nineteen responses recited at Mass by the full congregation.... there are harsh responses from several bishops.... One archbishop seemed positively frightened by what might happen when trying to introduce the new translations.... the bishops demonstrated a deep pastoral concern for their flocks.... bishops said their people would not understand.... “What ought to be a source of stability-the liturgy-will become a source of uneasiness and frustration for the good people who continue to come to the Eucharist,” one bishop remarked.

ROTFLMHO!!!

This is rich!

The hierarchs can rip out altar rails, stautes, tabernacles, etc.
The hierarchs can install female altar boys.
The hierarchs can flush centuries-old rituals for all seven sacraments down the memory hole.
The hierarchs can rip up the liturgical calendar.
The hierarchs can build cathedrals that look like airplane hangars.
The hierarchs can eliminate the post of Devil's Advocate, and flood the people with slews of new "saints" so that people forget the traditional saints.
The hierarchs can reformulate the rosary along modernist lines.
And on and on ....

But if the hierarchs were to ask the Catholic-in-the-pew to say "and with your spirit" -- then the whole Church would become discombobulated and the sky would come crashing down!!!!!

Good summary of their mischief. I too am amazed at their almost violent objection to saying "with your spirit," "His Holy Church," etc. Why should they feel threatened by such small changes? Of course, when you add up the things that the ICEL translation dropped, you begin to see a pattern.
