[Former Fetus]

I don't know about all ex-Catholics, but I sure do know that it happened to me. I was so proud to get one of the first Bibles in Spanish for sale in Madrid... I couldn't wait to take it to school and show it to the nun who was my homeroom teacher! Her reaction shocked me. I would put her in the same category than the sister that, after finding out that my 14-day old sister had died, came and told me it was wonderful because she would never sin!

There were no such things as graduation back then in Spain (I don't know how it is now, I've been gone 33 years) but there were some kind of celebrations at the end of the 12th grade. The day after I took my last test, I stayed home. Never set foot in my school again.

And why precisely would this shock you?

Perhaps you should say "one of the newest Bibles in Spanish." A Catholic version of the Bible in Spanish was produced in 1780. Later versions were produced in 1825, 1944, 1947, 1967, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 2006.
