Silly things in my Verbum re: Pontifical Biblical Commission

It is silly that I have these resources copied into notes rather than Verbum offering an appropriately tagged edition. Vote for:

Pontifical Biblical Commission: The Jewish People and Their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible | Faithlife

Pontifical Biblical Commission: Instruction on Scripture and Christology | Faithlife

Pontifical Biblical Commission: The Bible and Morality: Biblical Roots of Christian Conduct | Faithlife

If fact, it would be appreciated if the Verbum staff went through all the documents from this commission for resources of use to Verbum users and automatically added relevant new documents as they are released.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    It would be nice for that to be done with more than just the PBC.

    I still can't believe that an Encyclical from October 2020 is still not out in Verbum/Logos.

    Seems like a lot of recent official items are absent

    Not disagreeing wth the value to customers.

    But has FL ever crossed a rubicon of theological freshness? 

    They historically hedged with 'will try' and then more hedging. Journals a good example.

    Verbum has lacked the stale management of Logos. At one point the management had a particular interest in church documents and stayed current. We are on our 2nd or 3rd manager since and have yet to discern a solid trend. Therefore, I remind them of some of the strengths of their predecessors.
