...Oxford Bible approved for Catholics leaves the RSV text and footnotes unchanged; instead, two Catholic scholars-Jesuit Biblicist W. Van Etten Casey of Holy Cross and Father Philip King of St. John's Seminary in Boston-merely made a few additions to the Oxford annotations that were approved by the Bible's Protestant editors.

Not the world's most patient man, McKenzie frequently expresses this love by openly chastizing ecclesiastical persons and institutions that do not live up to his ideal of what Christianity ought to be.
