"I have no idea which text was translated and paraphrased in Eagle's Wings, but it does not matter. You can read the lyrics and see that there is no heresy contained in it."

I have no beef with the Vulgate but I do with the D-R. Maybe I should have a beef with the Vulgate? I don't know. I can tell you that the LXX is still the only canonical Old Testament for the Orthodox because to this day it's the only Old Testament ever authorized by the Church. Nothing to argue about there.

The LXX Psalter is now available in English. It first came out in 1974. To inquire about it, click on http://www.thehtm.org/

Thank you.

I should like to obtain the Orthodox English translation and run a comparison of it with the various Catholic English translations. I doubt there will be much controversial.

I don't believe that the Orthodox Church accuses the Catholic Church of being heretical on the Bible, or if it does, this is the first I had heard of it.
Since the Catholic Bible is based on the Latin Vulgate translation of the LXX and the Masoretic Text, and this translation was done hundreds of years before the Great Schism, even before the end of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, and Pope Damascus approved of the Vulgate canon, and the East did not go into schism with the West over the Latin Bible, nor raise this is as a flaming issue of church-rending dissension at the Ecumenical Councils when the Church was all still united, I did not realize that this was a point of contention.

Certainly the Bible is a point of contention between Protestants and Catholics, but I was unaware that it was between the Orthodox and Catholics.

Is the Bible one of the issues over which there is a heresy charge by the Orthodox against the Catholics?
(My understanding is that the Catholic Church does not accuse the Orthodox Church of heresy.)
