Bible: Revelation 17

Really? This is where you "learned" that the Catholic Church killed the first Christian martyrs? Please explain how the Catholic Church facilitated the martyrdom of Saint Stephen in Acts 7 (this should be real interesting considering that anti-Catholic lore is largely predicated upon the absurd notion that the Catholic Church didn't exist prior to the Council of Nicea in 325),

Any comment on anything else I wrote, or did you not understand it (I apologize for my unwillingness to write at a level that the comic book educated will comprehend).

I'll see if I can make it simpler, what language SHOULD Saint Jerome have translated the Bible into? You need to not only be specific, you need to be prepared to demonstrate that this language ACTUALLY EXISTED in the late 4th century and that it WAS DEVELOPED ENOUGH to allow for an accurate translation. You may not know this, but the reason that there were no real attempts to translate the Bible into other languages prior to the 14th century is because there weren't any languages that were developed enough. The Church rejected Wycliffe's translation for one reason and one reason only, it was horribly deficient at parts -- however, this was not Wycliffe's fault, it is because the English language didn't have enough words.
