Altar servers lead a procession May 2 from St. Jerome#39;s present church building to the site of the new church for the official groundbreaking ...

These translators cite and quote in there eleven page preface is amazing and quit telling: S. Augustine, S. Chrysostom, S. Cyril, S. Epiphan, Eusebius, S. Jerome, Justin Martyr, S. Ireney, Origen, and Tertullian


Some of the early Catholic fathers were quoted and cited very extensively in this eleven page preface, such fathers as St. Augustine(28 times) and S. Jerome(26 times). Certain Catholic fathers such as S. Jerome were even singled by the Anglican translators of the KJV of very for special praise. "S. Jerome a most learned father, and the best linguist without controversy, of his age, or of any that went before him, to undertake the translating of the Old Testament, out of the very fountain with that evidence of great learning, judgment, industry, and faithfulness, that he had forever bound the Church unto him, in a debt of special remembrance and thankfulness...S. Jerome maketh no mention of the Greek tongue, wherein yet he did excel"
They loved our Catholic Saints
Um..... do you know from where Protestant churches came? Grow up!


FRom Marty Luther

Quote Martin Luther Commentary on St. John: ``We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of God, that we received it from them, and that without them we should have no knowledge of it at all.'' Exactly where did you get your bible from.
Quite alright A little luther never hurt anyone wait maybe it did.
if you say so dear

I dont but your original KJV bible does
When you buy stuff at a store that has been delivered,

But i like the origianal not a counterfit

King James wished to separate the Anglican church from the Vatican and ordered an exact translation of the Vulgate Bible. This was for political, not religious reasons. As I recall, the project was supposed to require five years, but took about six.

Time and again I've heard Protestants assert that the KJV was translated from the original manuscripts, which always inspires me to ask where the translators supposedly obtained said manuscripts. The Vatican archives certainly didn't loan the originals to a rebellious king who was attempting to break the Catholic Pope's authority over the British monarchy. I've seen several reliable sources which stated that the Vulgate was the sole source for the KJV, specifically because King James desired an exact duplicate of the Vatican's Bible, for purely political reasons. King James was a politician, with little or no interest in Biblical scholarship. Furthermore, all the known King James translators were hired specifically because they were fluent in Latin -- not Greek, not Aramaic, not Hebrew -- only Latin. There are historical documents which support this fact. I think all those early Catholic fathers are cited and quoted because they were actually included in the preface of the Vulgate Bible used as the basis for the KJV translation.

...and that IS the point you are trying to make. Right? ...that it was the nascent Catholic church that created the Bible and that Protestants would know nothing of Christianity, but for the original Vulgate Bible.

I agree.

Here's a bit of trivia which may interest you:
In the KJV, turn to Psalm 46 and count each word to find the 46th word, "shake." Then count 46 words backwards from the end. That word should be "spear." The original planned publication date for the KJV was 1610 and William Shakespear was 46 years old during that year. It is rumored (not substantiated) that during the last years of the translation project Shakespear himself was contracted to help speed things along. Do you think He may have manipulated the translation of Psalm 46 to secretly include his own name? I've long wished someone who reads Latin fluently would compare the Vulgate version to the KJV and determine if Psalm 46 is a literal or a "creative" translation, so far as this little mystery is concerned.

all protestant churches follow the books of the bible chosen for his great translation by saint jerome (a catholic).

jerome excluded many well-regarded christian testaments of his time (the acts of peter, the works of thecla &c.).

protestants accept the bible the catholics chose, but claim to be a different faith.

is this sensible?
OpalShards: the earliest protestants in europe were celebrating mass in prague in 1420 - a century before before henry viii's marital problems. protestantism was already well established by the time ann boleyn hitched a ride on it to get her man.

I've been asked to ask you why the Catholic Church adopted the Torah as its basis for beliefs by an old atheist I live with.

One of my oldest friends is a Catholic and I had a look at her Bible a few years ago. I know it was different in some way, (the Apocrypha?) so now I'm going to have to google..

Right, you should accuse the Protestants of following the official canon of Judaism as their Bible did not include the Septuagint, which was excluded when the Scriptures were reformed around 100 C.E. The catholics kept the books in their Bible.

To be fair the Prots were just protesting about the abuses in the Church, they didn't intend to break from the Church at first. Their differences are in the practises of their religion not in their fundamental beliefs. Why would they have ditched their Bible? They are still Christians. btw the New Testament is the same for Prots, Catholics and Orthodox - it says :-)

So are the Catholics Crypto- Jews?
