text: The ICEL was not a product of the Vatican II Council. The ICEL was the independent English translators of the Latin whose only contact with the bishops was through a handful of "liturgical experts" like Bishop Trautmann of Erie, PA, aka Bishop "No" because if he didn't like what the American bishops wanted, he wouldn't transmit it to the ICEL.
  
  Not only did the ICEL do paraphrases, not translations, it composed entirely new texts on its own out of thin air.
  
  It was not until the CDF not only absolutely refused to approve the ICEL's last Missal translation but provided pages of errors, omissions, and additions that the ICEL was reformed.
  
  Yes, the ICEL "Dick and Jane Do Eucharist" was rammed down Catholics' - including bishops' - throats.
