That's a little disengenuous of you don't you think Reg?

I have told you twice now, and IMRight linked you to a version of it online, that the Revised Standard Version uses the same language:

Luke 1:28 - "Hail, Full of Grace."

The RSV is still in use today, and in fact that very passage in the RSV was read at a Mass I attended today.

That versions have crept in echoing the political "bend" and poor translation of protestant bibles in the New American Bible and probably other languages as well is a tragedy to, I'm sure, a vast multitude of Catholics. Just one more reason to clean house.

The Blue Letter Bible you linked me to had this version:

"And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" RSV

I got the Catholic RSV later and it does confirm what you told me. Please don't hurt my feelings any more. I am very sensitive. ;)

Are you aware the Catholic RSV is primarily a Protestant Bible with a very few changes from the Protestant original? Why do you find it necessary to belittle the Protestant Bibles? Be pleased with the RSV and be sure to thank the Protestant scholars who compiled it.

Yep, and I think it goes to an earlier point - shop for a version that supports your point (whether it's supported by the greek or not). That's ok ventana, we understand. Some on your side have made up verses in "original aramaic" and tried to pawn them off in here. It's expected.
