Actually the really moronic part is that most of the errors in modern translations result from the protestant rationalist enthusiasm for a hypothetical ur-text, and the consequent questioning of the Scriptures as received by the Church and prayed by Her for centuries whenever a new manuscript is unearthed (whether a piece of rank heresy like the 'Gospel of Judas', or an old fragmenantary parchment of one of the canonical books).

The LXX and the Byzantine Majority Text are the Scriptures of the Church, period, and there is no dispute as to their content or the original Greek text.

True. And tell me, how many people know anything of the 11 century Byzantine Christian Empire? Apostates find it easy to fool the ignorant.

Many textbooks now say that Islam preserved the heritage of ancient Greece for the West. And what was happening in Constantinople (not to mention Ireland)?
