If I had a day to kill I suspect the rest of the cross references are as useless

You waste hour after hour, day after day, unproductively posting idiocy at this site and you have the nerve to make a comment like that?

Matthew 6:10 1 Maccabees 3:60.....(no such verse..chapter ends at 59)

You’re a chattering simpleton. You don’t need to be a “PhD” to realize this may be a reference to a different Bible translation.

From the Douay Rheims:

1 Maccabees 3:60. Nevertheless, as it shall be the will of God in heaven, so be it done.

Sock you are a loser...get over it ..those books have no more connection to the NT than my phone book..you can insult me but that changes nothing. They were only included in the RC cannon to uphold false doctrine..go sell some indulgences

The site I linked to was an offical RC site. Here is the introduction

Preface to the New American Bible On September 30, 1943, His Holiness Pope Pius XII issued his now famous encyclical on scripture studies, Divino afflante Spiritu. He wrote: "We ought to explain the original text which was written by the inspired author himself and has more authority and greater weight than any, even the very best, translation whether ancient or modern. This can be done all the more easily and fruitfully if to the knowledge of languages be joined a real skill in literary criticism of the same text." Early in 1944, in conformity with the spirit of the encyclical, and with the encouragement of Archbishop Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the United States, the Bishops' Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine requested members of The Catholic Biblical Association of America to translate the sacred scriptures from the original languages or from the oldest extant form of the text, and to present the sense of the biblical text in as correct a form as possible. The first English Catholic version of the Bible, the Douay-Rheims (1582-1609/10), and its revision by Bishop Challoner (1750) were based on the Latin Vulgate. In view of the relative certainties more recently attained by textual and higher criticism, it has become increasingly desirable that contemporary translations of the sacred books into English be prepared in which due reverence for the text and strict observance of the rules of criticism would be combined. The New American Bible has accomplished this in response to the need of the church in America today. It is the achievement of some fifty biblical scholars, the greater number of whom, though not all, are Catholics. In particular, the editors-in-chief have devoted twenty-five years to this work. The collaboration of scholars who are not Catholic fulfills the directive of the Second Vatican Council, not only that "correct translations be made into different languages especially from the original texts of the sacred books," but that, "with the approval of the church authority, these translations be produced in cooperation with separated brothers" so that "all Christians may be able to use them.".....

Now all the missing scripture means is the Catholic church does not believethe Bible is the inerrent word of God..it is theirs to add or subtact from as they choose
