Bible Joke
There was a story this week about how, for Ash Wednesday, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops is releasing a new version of the Bible. They've apparently been working on this for over 15 years and this is the 1st update since 1970. One of the reasons for updating the Bible is that words change meaning over time. Apparently the word "booty" which has more recently taken on a sexual connotation. The updated version will use use the term "spoils of war" instead. There was no mention if there was any change in the phrase "Sermon on the Mount".
