We could discuss how the Catholic church mistranslated into English the Latin Vulgate which was a translation from the original Greek.

Verses, for example, such as Genesis 3:15 where the Catholic church tries to deify Mary and use the pronoun *she* instead of *he* to imply that it was MARY instead of Jesus that the conflict with Satan occurred.

Or the verse in Acts 2:38 where the Catholic church mistranslates the word *repent* as *do penance*.

Catholics are in no position to criticize the quality of translations of Scripture into English with albatross named the Douay-Rheims Bible hanging around their necks. (Just for starters).

I’m not talking about the English. Luther was working with the Vulgate.

Martin Luther was a heretic that actually thought he could change the word of God. Martin Luther should have been given the same fate that all other heretics were given in his time, the death penalty. The Reformation was the absolute worst thing that ever happened to Christianity. This drunkard German monk didn’t have any more authority than a peasant had. And the same goes for anyone that follows any faith that this rum-head started.
