Booty to Spoils

The new translation of the Bible from the the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops replaces the word "booty" with the word "spoils." The same is true with other words like "gay" and "grass" and "getting stoned." The translators say it better reflects the meaning of the term in the original and is less likely to bring snickers at Sunday School. The newest edition of the New American Bible will be released Ash Wednesday, March 9.
