From what I understand, one needs to be sponsored by two people (I think Bishops) and bug a particular nun in Rome to death with faxes until she placates us by giving permission (though a little non sequitur, Luke 18:1-9 comes to mind.) Right now we have permission to use the Catechism (English translation) in a limited form, but that permission is only on a trial basis right now. Things are currently in flux at the moment. You know the saying, ask me tomorrow and I'll get back with you in 10 years. -DJ _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
