I’m looking for Roman Catholics to comment on something I found very odd.
Yesterday’s mass during the reading of the Gospel stated the Jesus Christ was hung between two “revolutionaries”...WHat is THAT all about?
It was in the seasonal missalette. Since when did the two men change from thieves to revolutionaries?
I’m going to post this on other threads with Catholic themes to see if it was just my parish or if others noticed it.

This is a New American Bible translation. I'm not very fond of the NAB. I like the Douay-Rheims translation better
Matthew 27:38 "Then were crucified with him two thieves: one on the right hand, and one on the left. "
The Latin Vulgate reads as such:
Matthew 27:38 " tunc crucifixi sunt cum eo duo latrones unus a dextris et unus a sinistris"
latrones means robber, brigand, bandit; plunderer;
