Ah. I recognized that some parts of the "Anglican Use" had to have come from somewhere else because they certainly weren't in either the '28 or the '79, but I am perfectly happy to agree (not knowing one way or the other) that the truly clunky parts I recognize from the '79 were lifted by its tin-eared drafters from the Novus Ordo also.

We're hoping that the new translation of the Roman Missal (in response to the decree "Liturgiam Authenticam") will be better. It won't be Cranmerian, but maybe it won't be dumbed down to the 8th grade level, either.

Comparing the actual Latin of the Roman Missal with the ICEL English of the Novus Ordo is a bit like comparing great literature with a bad elementary school composition.
