    "The Hebrew did not have a personal pronoun." Twaddle. Hebrew indeed did, and does, have a personal pronoun. I share the view that this new translation is a mess. But I am also of the view that any t

    "It is latinized..." Well, of course it is: we are Latin Rite Catholics, not English Rite ones! In any case, what's wrong with a translation sounding like a translation? Because--shock, horror!--that
