No one may possess the books of the Old and New Testaments in the Romance language

It's talking about unauthorized and corrupt translations.

Your argument falls apart when you quote things that you don't understand.

It does not say that and retroactively claiming that’s what they meant is not valid.

And your rebuttal falls apart when you ignore the other declaration from the Council of Toulouse which says.....

COUNCIL OF TOULOUSE - 1229 A.D Canon 14. We prohibit also that the laity should be permitted to have the books of the Old or New Testament; unless anyone from motive of devotion should wish to have the Psalter or the Breviary for divine offices or the hours of the blessed Virgin; but we most strictly forbid their having any translation of these books.

.... and makes no distinction about language or authorized or unauthorized or anything. The prohibition is on owning ANY translation.

Don't make things up...It said nothing about corrupt translations...Obviously if the translation wasn't corrupt, it would have been destroyed as well...
