>From a sword perspective, the not including of Catholic is a technical 
problem. Currently, we're using a hard-coded verse numbering scheme based on 
the protestant KJV or 1769 I believe it was. We are working on supporting 
alternate versifications and this will, among other very good benefits, allow 
us to support the expanded Catholic and Orthodox cannons.
