Demonstrably inaccurate.
Rome did not decide its NT or OT canon until Trent, April, 1546.
The Council originally said the vulgate was to be the only version and if anyone said otherwise was to be anathema.
But if any one receive not, as sacred and canonical, these same books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin vulgate edition; and knowingly and deliberately despise the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema.https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Canons_and_Decrees_of_the_Council_of_Trent/Session_IV/Canonical_Scriptures,
However, as with so many things Roman Catholic, the church that claims they never change....well, they changed the Council of Trent.
Later, on 3 September 1943, Pope Pius XII issued the encyclical Divino afflante Spiritu, which allowed Catholic translations to be based on texts other than the Latin Vulgate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_of_Trent
In his justification for this, Pius XII, reversed an encyclical from Leo XIII .
Leo had condemned the use of higher criticism in the study of the Bible. Pius XII said this was now okay in light of advances in archeology and historical research which made it advisable to further define the study of the Bible.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divino_afflante_Spiritu

 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.' |
