By the way, are you asserting that the KJV did not translate from any Latin Bibles but only the Greek ones?...

...he can assert no such thing...of course the KJV was translated using primarily Greek and Hebrew texts, but the Vulgate was used as a secondary source to resolve certain translation difficulties in the Textus Receptus...

That's how I understood my history of the KJV as well so the statement that no "Catholic Bible" was used is simply incorrect.
