Catholic Bible Poll at 500+

Last week, the Catholic Bible Translation Poll, which is located along the right sidebar, exceeded 500 votes. If you remember, I initiated a new Poll a couple month back in order to address the new editions/revisions that had been published since this blog began.

So here are the results, completely unscientific of course:

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (1st or 2nd): 24.01% (127 Votes)

New American Bible Revised Edition: 23.25% (123 Votes)

Douay-Rheims (Original or Challoner): 17.39% (92 Votes)

Jerusalem/New Jerusalem Bible/New Catholic Bible: 10.78% (57 Votes)

New Revised Standard Version: 9.83% (52 Votes)

Other: 6.81% (36 Votes)

Knox Bible: 6:24% (33 Votes)

Christian Community Bible/New Community Bible: 1.7% (9 Votes)

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
