Why does the Catholic church translate from a translation? It would be far better to translate from the original to keep as much error out as possible.

The Catholic church made the original translations...they know what they're doing. Without them, we wouldn't have a bible at all.

So you give credit to the RCC instead of God for preserving the Gospel?

That cannot be supported as fact.

The Catholic church did NOT write the OT, the Jewish Scripture, and the NT was written before the recorded history of the Catholic church.

This laying claim retroactively to being responsible for the existence of the Bible is simply a power grab to try to control Scripture, and non-Catholics who adhere to it.
