my last source dried up, I am still looking for a Catholic version Spanish language bible, preferably one for Mexico or Latin America, on CD-Rom that I can download and print verses. I understand the new lectionary for the US is still not available, any body have any sources for me for bibles or lectionaries on CD? thanks. sources given before on older threads were either not available or for protestant translations.
 
I found a website that would let you print verses, but I am not sophisticated enough in Spanish to be sure of the version they are giving. Any thoughts would be appreciated. It seems to be a Catholic version as is includes Tobit and stuff. It is here:
 
thanks all, so far after checking out all these links the only ones that work as downloads available on low-cost CD are not Catholic translations, but I will use the on-line version of the ABS translation approved for devotional (not liturgical use) until I the Spanish lectionary is available. When I need a d.c. book I will just have to type it. However you have given me a lot more links and sources than I had before, and ways to amplify my search, appreciate taking advantage of your knowledge. The links alone were worth asking the question, now I just need a spanish-speaker to help me navigate those sites.
 
yes I have tried several on-line and purchased translator programs, results are variable to laughable. Especially for “church” stuff, the results can be bizarre. In translating our parent handbook, I intended to advise parents to drop children off in front of school. If they followed the Spanish version from translator, they would have lowered the kids by helicopter onto the school roof. I also translated a life of our late dear Pope with one of these programs and ended up with the biography of a holy polish potato.

however, thanks for the links, they are really great. wish I was on-line at work so secretary could handle this but I need the practice. I plan to download everything to CD then take it in for her to work on. You have been really great, and I can’t thank you enough.

attended one of their conferences a few years ago. bilingual education is a hot topic here, naturally with our 90% Hispanic population. As an outsider it is not for me to comment, except to obey the direction of the catechetical documents and our bishop to make all educational materials, parent letters, etc. available in both English and Spanish. I am mystified that bilingual education would not be the norm, but the debate is extremely heated on both sides of the issue. We have some public school districts that are entirely bilingual, others that have one bilingual building but mainstream children after 4th grade into all-English classrooms, other districts that provide nothing except extra ESL tutoring for new Spanish-speaking students.

Most surprising to me is criticism we have received from parents and grandparents for adding Spanish-language CCD and RCIA classes. It seems that up through the 60s schools here were English-only and students even new immigrants received corporal punishment in school for speaking Spanish. Parents remember their own bad experience and do not want their own children to be taught in any language other than English. English is also the official and only language of state government and the court system.
