Pistos,
I went to Biblestudy.com to see your Catholic Reference plugin in action. As I hovered over the scripture listings, they would display only one scripture for the entire page. If the last scripture on the page was Col 1:3, but I was hovering over Luke 15:4, it would show the Col 1:3. Does the plugin have a bug in it?
Sven
