You think the list would change if the source was Catholic Answers???

Of course it would. It would be more inclusive and it would point out how many of those translations are dumbing-down Luke 1:28 to suit anti-Mary vendettas.

“Of course it would. It would be more inclusive and it would point out how many of those translations are dumbing-down Luke 1:28 to suit anti-Mary vendettas.”

Maybe you can find a quote on Catholic Answers that will show that statement to be true. Until then, it is just your own personal interpretation of Greek words and grammar...except that Greek exists outside of your interpretation or mine.

“Moreover, the same holy council considering that not a little advantage will accrue to the Church of God if it be made known which of all the Latin editions of the sacred books now in circulation is to be regarded as authentic, ordains and declares that the old Latin Vulgate Edition, which, in use for so many hundred years, has been approved by the Church, be in public lectures, disputations, sermons and expositions held as authentic, and that no one dare or presume under any pretext whatsoever to reject it.

Furthermore, to check unbridled spirits, it decrees that no one relying on his own judgment shall, in matters of faith and morals pertaining to the edification of Christian doctrine, distorting the Holy Scriptures in accordance with his own conceptions,[5] presume to interpret them contrary to that sense which holy mother Church, to whom it belongs to judge of their true sense and interpretation,[6] has held and holds, or even contrary to the unanimous teaching of the Fathers, even though such interpretations should never at any time be published.” - The Council of Trent

If the Latin Vulgate is authoritative, then the translations of the Greek and Hebrew may well be wrong, since they differ, not from what the Apostles wrote, but from what the Catholic Church taught.

Sola Ecclesia - if need be, ignore what the Apostles wrote and rely on what the Catholic Church says.
