I guess , joe, that the definition of extreme, is pertaining to that which goes beyond which we think is acceptable. I wonder, if you are looking at this as a bible scholar, or only as a mainstream [ ?] catholic. what, I wonder is, is your [ or mainstream catholic ] take/interpretation of the biblical word ...propitiation...gk, hilesterion [ I think !].
interesting that according to wiki, the adaption was allowed in one book , though I noticed there was a disclaimer for accuracy.
