The Sacramentary: The Roman Missal Revised by Decree of The Second Vatican Council and Published by Authority of Pope Paul VI. Approved for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and approved by the Apostolic See. This English translation was prepared by the International Committee on English in the Liturgy (ICEL). This translation is the Reform of the Roman Rite and is not the Roman Rite known and used for centuries. ICEL members themselves acknowledge that their agenda for the reform of the Roman liturgy is much more radical than that explicitly authorized by the Second Vatican Council. Even directives from official Vatican sources which call for the elimination of abuses are accused of having an outdated, pre-Conciliar mindset by the ICEL. ( )
