The Nova Vulgata, also called the Neo-Vulgate, is the Catholic Church's official Classical Latin translation of the original-language texts of the Bible published by the Holy See. It was completed in 1979, and was promulgated the same year by John Paul II in Scripturarum thesaurus. A second, revised edition was published in 1986. It is the official Latin text of the Bible of the Catholic Church. The Nova Vulgata is also called the New Latin Vulgate[2] or the New Vulgate
All of these base texts were revised to accord with the modern critical editions in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic.[7] A number of changes were also made where modern scholars felt that Jerome had failed to grasp the meaning of the original languages, or had rendered it obscurely

Unfortunately, you did not answer my simple question. This is sad. I note that you are trying to get out of this by verbal balancing act.

I asked a simple question. You couldn't give a simple answer to this simple question. From whose side is there propaganda?
Under Jochi and later Batu Khan, the Mongols ruled over Russia for over 200 years, from around 1240 to 1481. However, that rule was less dominant over the later years.

That is, you admit that the Catholic Church has revised canonical dogmas in connection with "modern" requirements.
Thank you. This is exactly what I wrote in my comments.

The Catholic Church is a sect that broke away from the United Orthodox Church.
On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated from the Christian church based in Rome, Italy. Cerularius’s excommunication was a breaking point in long-rising tensions between the Roman church based in Rome and the Byzantine church based in Constantinople (now called Istanbul). The resulting split divided the European Christian church into two major branches: the Western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. This split is known as the Great Schism, or sometimes the “East-West Schism” or the “Schism of 1054.”
The Great Schism came about due to a complex mix of religious disagreements and political conflicts. One of the many religious disagreements between the western (Roman) and eastern (Byzantine) branches of the church had to do with whether or not it was acceptable to use unleavened bread for the sacrament of communion. (The west supported the practice, while the east did not.) Other objects of religious dispute include the exact wording of the Nicene Creed and the Western belief that clerics should remain celibate.
The first criterion of Sainthood is that the person has joined has joined himself to the Church through Holy Baptism....Another criterion is the Orthodox mindset.... The virtuous life is also an important feature....Another criterion is the presence of miracles. The question arises: are miracles in and of themselves a criterion for sainthood? The answer is "no. ... Another feature is exceptional services offered to the Orthodox Church.... Another criterion of Sainthood is incorrupt relics, which are fragrant and miraculous. Although such relics point towards Sainthood, they are not necessary a criterion for Sainthood ...
a) Holy Baptism
b) An Orthodox mindset
c) A virtuous life
d) Exceptional service and offering to the Church
e) Miracles
f) Holy Relics.

You, with all the might of NATO, still have not been able to destroy Russia for more than 2.5 years. Once again, talk ends, guns start talking. And guns do not need references.
