Why is this change important?
This is typical of the modernists who like change for change sake. The underlying meaning is still close to the Latin. It creates another discontinuity with our English speaking ancestors. For those new to the divine office prayers, it creates a cognitive dissonance. All minimally catechized Catholics have this prayer memorized. So, it causes a disruption in the mind when it suddenly ends differently. For a deeper analysis see
