You are showing more of your ignorance. Those were NOT Catholic resources. Secondly, the Liturgies are based completely upon scripture.
The problem still exists. You have no explanation for your OP. You have still not given your explanation of it. So, how can one actually refute your interpretation when you don't have one.
So, now five opportunities have passed and you still are mired in subterfuge and irrelevant content in your posts.
Enlighten us all. Why the OP question? What does it mean in your view?
I gave you some leading questions and you have not addressed them. How come?
Or just admit you have no understanding of what it means.

I don't think talking to your self will help you.
Are you searching for your answer. Are you procrastinating in order to develop a quick answer to your own OP?
Explain your view so either I or someone else can refute it. All we have so far is thin air and getting thinner. Six times now and you have yet to produce an explanation of your view.
I tried to help you but you didn't use the help either. Did you understand the questions? If not, let me know what you don't understand and I can clarify them for you.

Don't just list it, explain it. All you have done so far is made a translation of it which does not explain its meaning. Go for it. I have never disputed your translation. After all, as I stated earlier, the early Church wrote, spoke and taught in Greek. However, you have not given us a detailed explanation of just what YOU mean by Satan being bound.
Let's go over it yet again...
επει ουν τα παιδια κεκοινωνηκεν αιματος και σαρκος και αυτος παραπλησιως μετεσχεν των αυτων ινα δια του θανατου καταργηση τον το κρατος εχοντα του θανατου τουτ εστιν τον διαβολον
epei oun ta paidia kekoinōnēken haimatos kai sarkos kai autos paraplēsiōs meteschen tōn autōn hina dia tou thanatou katargēsē ton to kratos echonta tou thanatou tout' estin ton diabolon
Since, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, in like manner He Himself also shared the same things, that through death He might render entirely idle the one having the power of death, that is, the devil;
So...
How is it that you AGREE with my rendering, and yet don't understand what 'through death He might render entirely idle the one having power of death'...means...?
Are you playing with a full deck?
