Washington, Jul. 7, 2008 (CWNews.com) - The US bishops have rejected the latest proposed English translation of the liturgical prayers from the Roman Missal.
In a mail-in ballot, support for the proposed translation fell well short of the two-thirds required for approval by the US bishops' conference. The mail ballot became necessary because of an inconclusive vote at a June meeting of the episcopal conference.
The proposed translation was for "Proper" prayers for the Mass: the prayers for particular feasts and liturgical seasons. The US bishops have already given their consent to an English translation of the unchanging prayers of the "Ordinary;" that translation now awaits final approval from Rome.

From the 6th paragraph down:
Led by Bishop Donald Trautman of Erie, Pennsylvania, the former chairman of the bishops' liturgy committee, critics of the new translations have complained that they use archaic language and defended the earlier work of the International Commission for English in the Liturgy.
It really is no surprise to me, being here in Trautman's diocese. 'Defended the earlier work', why does that not surprise me?
Have you all seen this? I don’t have a list of all who might be interested, so pings please!
The Catholic Bishops in this country still don’t get it.
The US Catholic Conference of Bishops ought to be suppressed. Bishops like Trautperson have almost destroyed
us.
It’s so true. The ‘really’ Catholic bishops like Chaput or Burke seem to get it, but so many others seem to be with Trautman. And they seem to be intensifying their efforts. I am so pleased to see a return or rebirth of Orthodox Catholicism in some areas. It will take a lot to turn heads back around in this diocese, so many I know who were opposed just a decade or so ago, now skip merrily along.
Yeah..but the Good News the Pope is planning to Make the Consecration done in Latin... I am In Kuwait and we get all these Phillipino and Indian songs For The Gloria.. and such that change the Words for the Song not fitting the Songs to the Liturgical wording!
The Trautman Crowd even added text to the Liturgy that the good guys they want to eliminate because it didn’t exist to translate... it is a shame they don’t televise all the Bishops meetings..on EWTN...
EWTN used to televise the whole shebang, but then the Bishops pulled the plug on that. Guess the Bishops wanted to keep the Faithful in the dark.
The Protestant Church awaits you with open arms!

What Protestant Church?
Many of the U.S. Catholic bishops are protestant. That's the problem, in a nutshell....

Good question. One might even say "Which Protestant?".
