And there’s this [doesn’t anyone do Web searches anymore?].
From: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110328141101AAzX1h4

“A council was held in Toulouse, France in 1229 to deal with the Catharist heresy, which held, among other things that there are two gods. In order to promote their heresy, the heretics published a deliberately inaccurate translation of the Bible. To protect the Catholic Christians, the council bishops forbade the reading of that one bad translation. They never prohibited anyone from reading the Bible in its original language or an accurate translation.”

I am just reading here, not participating. But thank you for doing what every good historian should do, by looking at the historical context in which something was said or done. History is never black and white. It is nuanced.
