New American Bible loses its "booty"

By now, you have probably heard that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is ordering a Bible with updated language.

Some of the changed language, taken very out of context includes:

• booty-now "spoils of war"
• holocaust- now "burnt offering"
• ideal wife-now "woman of worth"
• virgin-now "young woman"

So, will these bishops now talk about the "Burnt Offering" of the Jews during World War II?  Sounds a little anti-Semitic.

However, on the positive side, can unmarried women of all ages refer to themselves as "young women", while married women can now celebrate their newfound "worth"?

Priests all over America can celebrate their new translation by shaking their "spoils of war" and listening to a little KC and the Sunshine Band.
