Nope...those darned old Catholics....the ones who compiled it, edited it, arranged it, transcribed it, copied it (by hand)preserved it for 1,600 years against all sorts of attempts to silence it....finally published it (the full, not readers digest version) and presented it to you for your education, edification, and aid toward salvation...........

Oh, yeah? Then how come we Catholics have to suffer, among many others, a "New American Revised Edition" bible? What's so "new", "american" or "revised" about God's Bible?

The modern versions, as long as they don’t change meanings, can merely help us understand the old style words contained in early Bibles...thee, thy,,thine...thou...seeketh, seeith,, I still read my Douay-Reims version but see nothing wrong with making it easier to follow....more will read it if they can figure out what it means.

Funny you should mention the New Revised American Bible. We’re in the process of clearing our home of any post-Vatican II “Catholic” books.
