Description |
As more Bibles were being published in vernacular English by various Protestant scholars, the Catholic Church felt the pressure to create their own. Out of fear that "Catholics would read heretical translations [in English Bibles] for want of better," the Catholic Church broke their thousand-year Latin tradition by translating the New Testament from Latin into English (Ackroyd). This translation process occurred in the French town of Reims (also Rheims or Rhemes), France and was published in 1582.
