“First, no, it is from the NAB - which is not from the Vatican.”
It’s on the Vatican website. If I go to Vatican.va, and I want to read the Bible, I click on “resources,” then “Bible,” then Introduction on Judith, and I get told that Judith isn’t true.
“Now what you’ll do - if you stay true to form - you’ll post (and post and post) about how it is an official Catholic source when it isn’t.”
Did that already. The source included its information about its Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.
“It’s on the Vatican website.”
I said that.
“If I go to Vatican.va, and I want to read the Bible, I click on “resources,” then “Bible,” then Introduction on Judith, and I get told that Judith isn’t true.”
Are Jesus’ parables true? Yes, they are, but they don’t necessarily describe historical events. Did the Rich Man in hell really see Lazarus talking to Abraham afar off? Is that story historically accurate or was it just a parable? Was there really a Good Samaritan? Is that story historically accurate?
“Did that already.”
No, you’re doing that now.
“The source included its information about its Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.”
Which in no way makes it an “official Catholic source.” It was not produced under the direction of the Catholic Church.
