"Stopping people in their tracks' at prayer

In the current issue of 'Reality' in an article by Triona Doherty, Fr Damian McNiece of the Dublin Diocesan Liturgical Resource Centre says that one of the advantages of the new translation is that it is 'stopping people in their tracks' and encouraging them to think about what they are saying.

Does that suggest we need to change the missal every few years 'to stop people in their tracks'?

But in the end the power aspect has the final say. As all the publishing houses are obliged to use the new translation, the dice is firmly on the side of those who have the money and resources.

Surely there is a story in that too.
