VATICAN CITY - A new interfaith exhibition that opens this week at the Vatican reveals how the roots of the 1611 King James Bible are almost entirely Catholic – despite the fact that the translation was often viewed as a highpoint of Protestant European culture. “If it had not been for the Catholics of the 1500s there would be no King James Bible,” exhibition organizer Cary Summers told CNA. “Many of the original bibles that formed the basis of the King James Bible came from Catholic priests. Very few changes were made." [link]
