I went by the Wikipedia for Tarragona and it had a date of 1242. That, of course, does not matter much. The point is, it was the days of Albigensian heresy if I am not mistaken. I fully believe they indeed tried to confiscate the translations “in the Romance language”, which at the time was the only reasonable thing to do unless you want heresies to spread.

Dude, there are so many other instances of the rcc trying to keep the Bible out of peoples hands it's really sad you're trying to defend this.

They didn't want the Bible in English or any other native language.

They knew, as has been shown by the Reformation, that once people begin reading the Bible for themselves they will see that Rome's teachings are incorrect.
