Well, apparently he is venerated as one in the Byzantine tradition. Check out February 17:

2008 Liturgical Calendar

(The above is an unofficial site.)

Yeah,I know. But he was not canonized by Rome. And he was not in communion with Rome,and held doctrines contrary to Rome,and didn’t belong to the Catholic Church.

He’s got an entire thread explaining how he is a saint in (more than) one of the Catholic Churches, making him a saint in all of them. Otherwise, an Eastern Catholic website which listed St. Patrick as a saint should have its orthodoxy called into question. Obviously, a saint in one Catholic Church makes him a saint for all. Plus, the majority of saints, east or west, were not canonized by Rome as most of them are locally acclaimed.

If you want to talk about it, you can see the thread.
Sainthood of Gregory Palamas

That says nothing about Catholic.org having a reformer’s Bible online. :hypno:
 
I use biblegateway.com/

Go to Preferences, choose to INCLUDE the deuterocanonicals, and you’ve got the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition in English. I don’t know which of the other languages have it as well.

Angel,

When you find out, you’re bound to be disappointed. 😃

***Hi, Manfred!

:banghead: …you saw right through my ruse… 😛

I was attempting to gain some insight without suffering the experience of finding yet another Bible I cannot use!

Maran atha!

***Hi, Woodstock!

St. Patrick was himself orthodox,and in communion with the Catholic Church,so there would be no reason why their orthodoxy should be called into question.

Obviously, a saint in one Catholic Church makes him a saint for all.

The point of reference for all that is considered universal,as opposed to local,in the Catholic Church is the church of Rome.
If he is not canonized as a saint by the church of Rome,then recognition of his sainthood is not universally binding on the whole Church.

It might be. It only takes one bad character in a line of code to cause other material not to display correctly, or at all.

I think the specific books that are missing might point to another cause…omission of 1&2 Thess. is a mystery to me tho 😛

***Hi, Spirithound!

I think that some may not like what is said in the following:

Thessalonians I
1:4-5; 2:5-11; 2:13-18; 3:1-5*; 3:6-13; 4:1-2*; 4:3-12; 4:15*-18; 5:12-13; 5:19*; 5:25*

Thessalonians II
1:3-5*; 2:1-9; 2:15*; 2:17; 3:1-5*; 3:6*; 3:7-9; 3:14; 3:17*

Some of it deals with Traditions; some of it with Salvation; some of it deals with the Authority of the Church; still some deal with communion of the Universal Church…

Maran atha!

Angel,

The RNAB on the USCCB site is complete, footnotes and all.

Now as to whether you actually want to use it or not… :whistle:

***Hi, Manfred!

…thanks for the info–I’ll visit the site this week…

I have this hang up about sanitized Bibles (those that attempt to homogenize everything)… I think that that’s a big error… I’ve even read a Bible that speaks of Jesus reading from… trrrrrrrrrr: the Bible!

…one other one talks about Jesus going to the Church to teach…

…I could almost picture it now… Jesus, texting the Sermon on the Mount to His young disciples! :rotfl:

Maran atha!

Angel,

In all seriousness, if it’s a really fine bible you’re looking for, try the link here:

newadvent.org/bible/

It contains the Douay-Rheims-Challoner English translation, with the Clementine Vulgate below it for reference.

How cool is that!
:yup:

***Hi, Manfred!

Thanks!

…it’s kind of difficult to transcribe and search for Scriptures and check from Grammar all at once… having an e-Bible can cut down some of that work… :whistle:

You know, almost two and a half years later, and they still haven’t made a correction.

Makes you wonder.
 
I used to use Catholic.org to read about the saints. Every day I would get the profiles of the saints who had a feastday and paste the info unto a webpage to make it more accessable for the future. I did this every day between last March and last October, but then I had to give up because I noticed that a lot of the info didn’t make sense. I would have finished the project this St. Patricks day, if I’d kept it up. You can still read the part of it I’ve done, though- pages.matmice.com/home/saintscompletelist. Don’t you think a lot of it doesn’t make sense?

Saint Gregory Palamas is indeed a Catholic Saint, despite being post-schism. He is on our Byzantine Calendars, with the approval of and by the action of, the Holy See.

He may be a saint among the Byzantines,but not with the whole Church.
Some Ukrainian churches oppose his veneration.
Even in the Byzantine Catholic Church there is opposition to his sainthood and theology.

The point of reference for all things universally applicable in the Catholic Church is the church of Rome. Rome has not canonized him,so he is not a saint for the whole Church.

***Hi, unkajonet!

…perhaps my suspecions are correct!

Does anyone has knowledge of a direct connection to the site’s founders/owners?

Maran atha!
