Greek Catholics still use the Septuagint, as do the Greek and Russian Orthodox for their scripture readings.

"Greek Catholics still use the Septuagint, as do the Greek and Russian Orthodox for their scripture readings."

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure I had heard that sometime along the way and it does make sense, but it wasn't anywhere near the portion of my brain that recalls these things. :-)

Sadly, I guess it'll have to stop, though. Someone back around 300 said the whole Old Testament had to be thrown out (Marcion? I get the heretics mixed up and can't keep track of them very well), and you know the new rule formulated at the Third Council of Titmouse held according to the standards and nontraditions of "YOPIOS". The new rule makes it clear that if anyone ever questioned a portion of Scripture it has to go.

Regards
