Few of us will ever have the time or opportunity to be scholars of ancient languages so it really surprises me that the many works of those that have are so regularly ignored when trying to understand the meaning of words of such an important book as the Bible.

“I used google and a 60 year old Latin dictionary. :-)”

Yep, save them old books, they grow in value by the year. (and Latin hasn't changed in the past 60 years)

LOL. Maybe Latin hasn't changed but the understanding of Latin, and the Vatican experts, certainly has.
