Monday Morning Mass Readings

Titus 1:1-9; Psalm 24:1-6; Luke 17:1-6 in the ESV Study Bible

Yes, I know! It is idiosyncratic in the extreme for me to post Catholic mass readings linked to a Protestant study Bible but I have good reasons:
  1. Most Catholic study Bibles are untrustworthy because they are solely concerned with modern higher-critical theory and prefer any newfangled innovation to actual Catholic teaching.
  2. Catholic study Bibles are not online.
  3. The ESV translated text is almost the same thing as the Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition which is very good and the basis of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible (ICSB) but is not online.
  4. The ESV Study Bible is of higher quality than anything the Catholics have yet produced (though the ICSB might get there someday!) 
  5. I like the ESV, and since there is a print version of the ESV with Apocrypha, there is a good case to be made that the ESV could be the perfect Catholic Bible.
