I wasn't aware the RSV, Catholic edition differed from the RSV except it also had the Apocrypha. I found references in GOOGLE to a 1966 RSV Catholic Edition but could find no online editions. (For free, that is.) Since I have no intention of purchasing one, could you point to an online source?

Not that I could find so I guess you'll just have to trust me on this one :>). I saw the RSV(Catholic edition), also known as the Ignatius Bible, at a bookstore yesterday. If you are ever at Barnes and Noble check it out.

I am still confused.

As am I after reading what you quoted. Whoever wrote that paragraph doesn't know how to write very well, that's for sure.

Personally, I think that we have prety much exhausted this topic and should move on.

Pray for John Paul II

I'm sorry. I should have posted the attribution. I'll post the article in full.

HISTORIC CATHOLIC BIBLE AND WHICH ONE YOU SHOULD HAVE

Wondering what Bible you should use confused as to which on you should have, well there are two books that every Catholic home should have, they are: The Douay Rheims Catholic Bible and the RSV Catholic Edition. Note: other RSV editions are out and say Catholic but it does not mean they are Catholic, a lot of times you will find that these bible are published by protestant publishers. I suggest that if you are interested in safe reading that is in union with the Vicar of Rome Pope John Paul II, look into EWTN or TAN Publishers, they are fully Catholic and contain SAFE Catholic Reading. The Douay Rheims Bible is Based on the Ancient Vulgate of St. Jerome, the very FIRST Bible in containing all the 73 books in the Catholic Church in the year c.405 AD,

The New Vulgate (Nova Vulgata) was done by our Current Pope John Paul II, this is the RSV Catholic Edition containing footnotes of the Ancient Vulgate of St. Jerome. The Ancient Vulgate was used for 390 years and was the only English Catholic bible ever used. To learn more about the oldest bible for English Speaking Catholics you can purchase a book called Which Bible Should You Read? by Thomas A. Nelson not the same Thomas Nelson who is a protestant publisher. TAN Publishers carries the book. It was the only bible used in the liturgy of the mass. Today however we know use the Nova Vulgata in the liturgy of the mass. This book does contain in its foot notes the missing links in its footnotes, and that is why when one purchases the RSV make sure it is the Catholic Edition, because it contains foot note to the oldest Bible the Catholic Church has. God Bless you and may His light and love strengthen you and guide you into all truth through the Authority of the Catholic Church.

You should, for certain, be wary of purchasing anything published by those "dirty Protestants".

FYI I read, and compare, a half dozen Bible translations on-line (for free). I have no intention of purchasing a different one every time someone refers to a single passage to "prove" a point.

Would it be too much for you to post Luke 1:? If not the entire passage, maybe 30-45?

The question is only important to me because you seem to hang your hat on the importance of the exact words "Hail...full of Grace". Modern Bible translators, Protestant or Catholic, don't agree with you. I wonder just what is your authority?
