Back when I was studying religion at Notre Dame (in 1960-61) I helped out in a very small way on this translation (punctuation, mostly), and can report that the chief translators were indeed conservative Catholics. RJJensen 20:56, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
- Don't know about that. The end product was so liberal that the Vatican rejected it and required a major re-editing. Feminist influence on the translation was one problem, as the meaning of gender was changed to appease liberals.
- But the objections in this entry have more to do with simply awkward or outright mistaken translations. "Grain ... produces much fruit"??? How is that possibly defensible? It such an important passage, too.--Andy Schlafly 21:00, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
