really ?
you know thats not true. William Tyndale was burnt at the stake in 1536 by the Catholics for having a bible translated into English.
Catholics burnt allot of folks at the stake for having personal bibles.
heretics teaching heresy ?
hardly.
I just told you, we have copies of these vernacular pre-Tynsdale Bibles and documentation that people had them and read them. Look it up, for goodness sake. If you won’t listen to facts and evidence and choose to stick to your pre-misconceptions, there’s nothing I can do except pray for you.
Tynedale was not burned at the stake, he was strangled before his body was burned at the stake.
He had been ordained a Catholic priest, but he started to believe in and spread heretical ideas similar to those of Martin Luther and spread those ideas around. Before trying him, the Church had a Catholic theologian work with Tynedale for a year trying to get him to reject his heretical views.
Thus, from the Catholic point of view Tynedale was a heretic and he was defrocked and so ruled, and then he was executed by the Catholic civil government of Flanders for sedition, just as were many other Protestants by Catholic governments and Catholics by Protestant governments (in England in about equal numbers).
Consider one newer translation which has “inclusive language.” Now some people,, including the Anglicans, are considereing gender neutrality towards God!
A lot if people consider this soet of thing to be bad and even heretical translation, just as Tynedale’s translation of words used for church to congregation, priest to elder, do penance to repent, etc., were considered bad and heretical translation.

In fact, far from being against translating Sacred Scripture into the vernacular, the Catholic Church approved of and used the Vulgate for centuries, when Latin was used to communicate all over Europe as a common, or *vulgar*, language.
Even so, translation of parts of the Bible in England began around 670, when Caedmon, who worked at a monastery, made songs of some Bible stories, followed by Bishop Ailhem who translated the Psalms and so on through the next few centuries as various parts of the Bible were translated.
