No one is freaking out. Yeah, they get a bit of blood raised but, I doubt anyone has punched any holes into their walls at home.
Well, somebody equated reading the RSV-CE with being immoral. I’d say thats a bit over the top. Here: forums.catholic-questions.org/showpost.php?p=4069469&postcount=85
I haven’t refused to accept the “Divino Afflante Spiritu” or as you refer to it a DAS. and before you just said holy father which lead me to think you were talking about Pope Benedict XVI. I have nothing but the highest regard for Pius XII and his encyclical. His encyclical isn’t the only encyclical out there. I don’t care for the RSV-CE and I never will. I like reading out of my Douay-Rheims and I haven’t found another translation that I really like. If that offends you so be it. I have my views and you have yours. Lets leave it at that
Not high enough apparently, to accept the state of original-language scholarship.
Perhaps…but they are reacting this way out a cause for our concern, (whether we like it or not). And I still don’t think the relations on this thread are as bad as it could be. There is no name calling. I’ll agree that when there is name calling people are getting too worked up.
I guess I get that for trying to end a discussion.Just because I don’t agree with your or Jimmy Akin, that makes me a person who doesn’t accept church authority??? You and Jimmy Akin are just average people. The Pope is just an average joe with a little more insight through his spirituality in Christ. He is a good man, but he is just your average joe trying to lead Christ Church. I hate to be rude, but you are just too Bullheaded to see other side of the spectrum. Just because I dislike a translation doesn’t mean I disagree with the church. I have yet to read a translation I like outside the Douay-Rheims, but that is my opinion and my opinion only. Do I want to try other translations?? Sure, I do. I but I am not going to push some translation that I don’t feel that is fit. In this this case I don’t feel the RSV-CE is fit. You attack the NAB. Oh its horrible, its horrible, everyone should use the RSV-CE. NO!!! A person is going to use and promote the translation they see fit for themselves and others for the benefit of the Church. Again, I honestly think the RSV-CE is just bringing in Protestant views into the Catholic Church. BUT THAT IS MY OPINION.
Yah, he’s just your average, everyday, successor of Saint Peter. They’re a dime a dozen. <>
The only person in my eyes that isn’t average is Christ himself. Christ is superior to everyone period. The Pope is just like you and I. His earthly duties may be more explicit in detail, because he is called on not only by the God or the College of Cardinals, but the Church itself. The Pope does many thing the same way we do. Yes, he does some things differently but he is just an average joe like you and me.
How many “average Joe’s” speak 15 languages, are masters in scripture, philosophy, theology, and ecclesilogy; are professors, and have written numerous books on the faith?

So was Luther, until he fell off the deep end.
Anyone can write a profile. I’m looking more at your statements about the Pope, the Bishop of Rome, the Vicar of Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of the Vatican City, Servant of the Servants of God**…**
Jimmy Akin? When did I mention Jimmy Akin?
Average joe. Hmmm. Who’s written several books, headed the Church’s top doctrinal body for many years, got elected Pope, wrote more books and encyclicals since then, and of course, empowered to exercise the ordinary and extraordinary Magisterium, and holder of the keys.
NAB=Church doesn’t approve.
NAB 1970=approved
