Revise Standards

Another Gospel ruined by the Jerusalem Bible. Useful though the footnotes are, the text itself is awful. I know that they are really supposed to translate the liturgical books exactly as they are. But at the very least, couldn't someone reissue the RSV Edition? And not the NRSV, with the male pronouns taken out and to hell with the sense. If the Bible is that bad, then why use it all?
