 | | A revision was needed, and ICEL set about it, producing translations in the 1990s which Fr Cameron-Watt describes as “enriching, poetic, developed, insightful, articulate” and “more beautiful on the ear than the first, somewhat rushed, versions”. |
 | | To traditionalists, ICEL had become the symbol of the Church’s sell-out to fallen modernity, the target of wealthy American traditionalists which had the ear of Rome. |
 | | The post-takeover executive secretary of ICEL is Fr Bruce Harbert, a patristics scholar who told The Tablet after his appointment in 2002 that he wanted to see a translation that “moves the reader towards the original rather than the original towards the reader”. |
