As part of the update set to be published on Oct. 17, we've decided to change the title of the resource currently known as Catholic Lectionary to Catholic Daily Readings.
The purpose of this is to more clearly distinguish this resource--which dynamically pulls in the text for the readings from the Bible translation of your choice for personal study and devotions--and actual Catholic lectionaries, such as the United States Lectionary for Mass, which contain a translation approved for use in the liturgy. We regularly receive complaints (and typo reports) indicating that some users find the current name misleading.
So, to summarize the resources we currently sell for supporting the modern Latin-rite Catholic lectionary:
- Catholic Daily Readings (formerly Catholic Lectionary): a dynamic text lectionary, organized by secular calendar date, that gives references for the lectionary readings for each day, and displays them in the Bible translation of your choice.
- Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America: the full text of official U.S. lectionary text, organized like the print lectionary according to the liturgical year (plus commons, votives, etc.)
- Catholic Daily Readings (U.S. Lectionary): a dynamic text lectionary (only sold together with Lectionary for Mass), organized by secular calendar date, that gives references for the lectionary readings for each day, and displays the official text for use in the U.S. from Lectionary for Mass.
The name change shouldn't cause any problems with home page settings, etc., but it could affect rule-based collections. Please contact customer support if you have any problems.
