As a Roman Catholic it is tempting to say something smart, but I know that this version of the Bible will quickly be praised and adopted by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. This type of translation will be heard at Mass within the next 10 years.
The Satanic Sodomites have nearly wiped out Christianity. The Church of England is toast, my Church is reeling....the indie born-agains hanging out in their 40-member Bible churches will be no match...and they are next.
Pio, chill and quit scandalizing the Church. I have monstrously huge issues with the *footnotes* of the Bernadin Bible (A.K.A., the New American), but be fair: Rome has insisted on keeping the masculine English words for gender-neutral Hewbrew words; they're hardly going to start throwing around "Rocky" for Peter or making up stuff. They haven't even put a "Nihil Obstat" on Catholic versions of the The Living Bible or The Way. And if anything, although the Church is way to the left of 1960, it has moved to the right since 1980, and is accelerating.
Compare 1984 with 2004.
Remember the Jesuits acting as Marxist guerillas?
Remember the USCCB-sponsored anti-Reagen "peace" demonstrations?
Remember liberation theology and the Marxist Jesuits?
Remember the daily sermons about the "War on the Poor"?
Remember the moral equivalence issued by the USCCB between Communism and the failure to provide free housing?
Remember the hippy masses, using John Denver as sacred music?
Remember the imminent expectation of women priests or of a Vatican III?
Remember the open revolt against the church's sexual teachings?
I do. And I'm not talking Freepers finding some wierdos in Wisconsin. I remember when this stuff was identical to the common experience of Catholicism.
The Church has at least stopped the slide towards Gemmorah.
Yep. The new breviary has Dag Hammerskald in it, why not this?

How can you say that? Christ and Christianity will NEVER be wiped out. The gates of hell will never prevail against Jesus' Church.
I know that my Church www.calvarychapel.org will not start reading this so called 'bible'.
To be honest i'm not even sure who the A of C is but by thiers fruits ye shall know them...whoever he is he's obviously not a Christian and must not even read the real Bible. We ought to pray that he'll come to know The Truth of God, that he be filled with The Holy Spirit and that he'll receive our Savior, Jesus. Amen?
