The thing is, why would anyone want to hear what the Catholic church has to say about the Scriptures? The Word of the Almighty was entrusted to a people He chose, Israel. Therefore, for interpretations and true translations, people should search in the English translations from the Hebrew/Aramaic/Peshitta texts, not from Greek/Latin persuasions. The latter are laced with deceit (humanism) and can only serve the purpose of keeping those who read their versions and views in bondage. We will indeed know the Truth, and that Truth shall set us free.

There are no more "chosen" people/ God is the God of everyone. Jesus' act of overturning the tables of the money changers and lenders at the temple was symbolic in many ways. As He stated He came to establish a new covenant for all mankind. No longer would God belong exclusively to the Jews or to those among the Jews that the priests selected. No longer would God reside in a temple, restricted to the masses. He established that there was a very direct and personal relationship between even the lowest gentile and God.
