click on the source to see not only that the Divine Office is not only from 1960, which it is,

If you had followed the link to Versions, you would have seen/read that the Divine Office has been "the official prayer of the Catholic Church for at least 1500 years". The 1960 version is merely one of the most recent versions.

but that it has no directions for the quote

It is from the Martyrology. Look it up.

Jesus came to save sinners, not to tell everyone what religion to join

1) It is not either/or it is both/and.
2) Did He not tell the disciples to go forth to all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? In 743 there was only one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. So, yes Jesus wanted everyone to "join" the church He founded.

Blecch

You are twisting what I said wasting my time putting words

Here’s what i said... Forget it... Read it

Jesus did not have the disciples nor us not whatever clergy man this stupid unfounded quote is attributed to, go out and tell people what religion to join lest they be damned. That is a heresy and a perversion of Catholicism so enjoyed by the anti papists here
Get off my case.

It's official in Latin. The English translation people are debating here is completely mangled. A more accurate translation would be "whoever does not accept the catholic/universal Christian faith ...". Please see my comment #79 for Latin, which itself may be a translation of what the 8th Century martyr actually said.
