In fact, translating into English could be fatal. Catholic priest William Tyndale, wanting "every ployboy to know the Scriptures," translated the Bible into everyday English from the original Greek, bypassing the church-sanctioned Latin Vulgate

Going from Greek and Aramaic to Latin and then to English makes the English translations using the Vulgate a translation of a translation, meaning there's even more potential for information and clear meaning to be lost.

It's foolish to take that extra step when the original texts are available to use.

Catholics claim fidelity to the Bible and their church executed someone who adhered to that so that the common man could read it himself.

Nice......

Great point!

Rome has claimed all sorts of things and then executed those who didn't agree with them.
