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.
Great point!
Catholics claim fidelity to the Bible and their church executed someone who adhered to that so that the common man could read it himself.
Rome has claimed all sorts of things and then executed those who didn't agree with them.

Part of the whole confessional system is based on a Roman Catholic mistranslation of the Greek.
Repent was translated into “do penance” and we know have Catholics in closets spilling their guts to Priests.
