I was wondering about this. I saw something, (fon’t remember what it was) but it was the old translation. So I figured it was coming.

Then if they can just do away with the NAB and get a good translation for all Catholics.

Well, the NABRE is much better than the NAB. I was shocked (okay, not really) to see last week that the USCCB is going to revise the NAB New Testament. So, they have to adjust the text of the Lectionary in a few years for the NABRE, and then they’ll have to do it again to add the new version of the NT.

This constant “updating” of texts does nothing to help people gain familiarity or memorize scripture. It is a serious problem and, sadly, our bishops don’t seem to even notice.
