The Irish Bishops announced on September 3 that they will use the 2018 Revised New Jerusalem Bible (RNJB) for a new Mass Lectionary (TheTablet.co.uk).
They have asked more than 200 [selected] individuals and 20 organisations from which the "vast majority" preferred this alleged translation for its “balance in regard to ‘inclusive language’ and gender-sensitivity.” The fake consultation process was managed by the Bishops' Secretariat for Liturgy.
In RNJB, Matthew 4,4 reads “A human lives not on bread alone” and Matthew 5:22, “Anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will answer for it before the court; anyone who calls a brother or sister 'idiot' will answer for it before the assembly.”
The Liturgy Congregation's 2001 Liturgicam authenticam urges for lectionaries a “sacred style proper to liturgical language” and calls inclusive language “imprudent." It is, however, pointless to take notice of Papal/Vatican documents because tomorrow they will claim the opposite of today.

If anyone wonders why we should resist vernacular readings, with conference approved translations, this is it. The translators that have been working since the mid-twentieth century on any given translation are mired in critical theory and political correctness.

I wonder what weirdos they consulted. Francis is evidently distressed there are too many practicing Catholics in Ireland, so a dull as ditch water bible translation might help. No sense of reintroducing the Catholic Mass as a norm. Francis wants more agnostic Marxists like him. Thst picture is a typical lector putting people into a coma.

Every translation after V2 is suspect, but tops it. We need to return to how it was was, not carelessly and over frequently receiving Communion, restoring food screens which mostly vanished in the seventeenth century. No change, no innovations.

What does it matter, there are no Catholics left in Ireland listen to the readings.
