The RCC may yet still frown on people having their own Bibles but they are utterly powerless to do anything about it.

Nonsense. I went to a catholic high school and not only were we required to have a copy of the bible and to read it, we were given the opportunity to participate in sharing our interpretations of it in class.

Can you have a New International Version or a King James if you prefer when you're in a Catholic High School? That's what I mean. There are some significant differences between the translations of the Bible that the RCC uses and those used by everyone else, most notably in the Ten Commandments. And, no, I'm not telling you what the differences are. Go check it out for yourself so you can't claim that I or my sources are biased.
