Vulgate

VULGATE

BASIC R.C. BELIEF The Latin translation of the Bible by St. Jerome (5th century). For over 1500 years it was the only authorized text from which a translation could be made. It was responsible for a number of doctrinal errors. St. Jerome included the Apocrypha but did not give it full standing as scripture.

POST VATICAN II In recent years, Roman Catholic translations have been allowed from the Greek text.
