Good point. It's HER church, then she can authorize/condemn any bible she feels like.

You asked "Shoult not the queen step in and do something? She is head of the english church."

well yes and no. Technically she's the head, but the problem is that for the last two centuries the British Royals have had a largely 'hands off' policy in trying to correct problems in the C of E. Moreover this current abortive mistranslation is really only the symptom of a larger disease - if HM were going to do something effective she'd have to start at the top and remove Rowan the fuzzy as ABC. However to even attempt to do that would cause *major* problems in the political and social structures that make up the modern day UK. About the only way she'll be able to get away with it is if Rowan & co do not find a way to hold the Anglican Communion together; and even then what will probably happen will be Rowan goes into an early retirement.

Constitutional monarchies are a pain, especially for the monarchs.
