The RCC removed the 2cnd commandment from their list of 10. To keep the list to 10, they split the coveting commandment into 2.

To keep from looking so silly, you could do a bit of research before making such a stupid statement. You do understand that how you split out the Decalogue is a tradition, don't you? And what difference does it really make if it is included in number 1 or number 2?

It is interesting that some would break the Ninth Commandment in the course of criticizing the Church's presentation of the Decalogue.

Does the Catholic bible still contain Exodus 20:4?, Lev, Deut, etc...?

Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth."

Lev 26:1 'You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

Deut 4:15 beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,

Deut 4:23 Take care, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make a carved image, the form of anything that the LORD your God has forbidden you.

It makes a difference that the first and second commandments are not placed as the originals were. The original 10 were written on 2 tablets, number one opposite number 6, and so on. Each commandment and its opposite relect a deeper truth than just the one by itself.
