It's not more liberal than the Confraternity Version that was issued at approximately that time.

What do you mean the JB doesn't support transubstantiation? I have never seen anything in the JB or NJB which contradicts it.
While we're on that point, however, it's not the job of the translation to support any doctrine. A translation is supposed to be a faithful rendition of the original in another language from which we then derive our beliefs. (Of course, as Catholics we also have Apostolic Tradition.) You are putting the cart before the horse. Like Luther you want to determine Scripture from preconceived assumptions about what is true.
