NEW BIBLE FROM WACK BISHOPS!

[SouthpawLink]

All the changes do is make an already horrible version of Scripture (translation, introductions*, footnotes) that much worse.  Anyone who has a mature faith will know to reject it.  So, we must concentrate on helping those who are less-instructed and who would be more likely to use such an abomination.  And no, I don't think that word is too strong for a "Catholic Bible" which rejects the decisions of the Pontifical Biblical Commission (1907-27) and which also suggests that the Church may be fallible (see its footnote to Mark 6:3).


* "The ancient tradition that the author was the disciple and apostle of Jesus named Matthew (see Matthew 10:3) is untenable because the gospel is based, in large part, on the Gospel according to Mark ... The post-A.D. 70 date is confirmed within the text by Matthew 22:7, which refers to the destruction of Jerusalem" (NAB, Introduction to the Gospel according to St. Matthew).  http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/matthew/intro.htm

Compare the above with Denzinger 2148-51.  :realmad:  http://www.catecheticsonline.com/SourcesofDogma22.php

Anyway, the changes from "virgin" to "young woman" and "holocaust" to "burnt offering" both bother me.  And is it still possible for the Bible to be further 'feminized' in the future?  Is there anything they haven't 'caught' yet that could 'scandalize' some women?  :puke:
