From catholic.com:
Toulouse, France, where a council was held in 1229. And, yes, that council dealt with the Bible. It was organized in reaction to the Albigensian or Catharist heresy, which held that there are two gods and that marriage is evil because all matter (and thus physical flesh) is evil. From this the heretics concluded that fornication could be no sin, and they even encouraged suicide among their members. In order to promulgate their sect, the Albigensians published an inaccurate translation of the Bible in the vernacular language (rather like the Jehovahs Witnesses of today publishing their severely flawed New World Translation of the Bible, which has been deliberately mistranslated to support the sects claims). Had it been an accurate translation, the Church would not have been concerned. Vernacular versions had been appearing for centuries. But what came from the hands of the Albigensians was an adulterated Bible. The bishops at Toulouse forbade the reading of it because it was inaccurate. In this they were caring for their flocks, just as a Protestant minister of today might tell his flock not to read the Jehovahs Witnesses New World Translation.
And I should point out that the KJV was promoted by the Church of England while the rest were banned. It was Authorized by the King James who sought to eliminate the popular Calvinist Geneva Bible and the Catholic Douay Rheims Bible and replace them with his own Bible whose footnotes supported his claim of divine right of kingship. So Protestants banned Bibles, in this case not over mistranslations but over footnotes.
EJ, would you pass out JW Bibles to your parishioners? Would you be concerned if a parishioner was reading a JW Bible for spiritual guidence? Would you allow it to be read aloud at a worship service?
