A Different Look On The Irish Bog Psalms
The signs are everywhere

Hat Tip to Jay

By now, we've all heard of the 1,000 year old Book of Psalms recently found in Ireland.

According to the news reports, the book was unearthed with it opened to the 83d Psalm. That particular psalm was a prayer to God asking His protection against those who would destroy His Church.

Actually, that's the 82 Psalm of the Latin Vulgate Bible. The good folks in Ireland are obviously using the heavily Protestant influenced modern day St. Joseph's.

Here is the original Latin;
82:5 Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israël ultra.

And here is the traditional Douay-Rheims Bible translation;
82:5. They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.

What is this "Israel" the psalmist speaks of? A geographical entity or political state in the Year of Our Lord 2006? I think not.

I remember reading what Pope Pius XI said in 1938: "Through Christ and in Christ, we are spiritual descendants of Abraham."

Ladies and gentlemen, the Israel that the psalmist wrote about is US!

Gee, are there any heavily armed folks running around present day that have every desire in the world to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth?
