The New American Bible index on vatican.va is a completed public digital instrument. The dated cluster is late-twentieth-century Holy See English. He did not HTML it.
Context
A Vatican URL is a different access path from NA28. Both can be used in classrooms.
Paul the Apostle is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.
Why it matters
A vatican.va Bible is not a 4th-century canon roll.
