		To justify horizontal translation, the bishops invoke the principle of respect for the equal baptismal dignity of men and women in the liturgical assembly.
		The committees of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops dealing with language in the liturgy are largely staffed by bishops with terminal degrees in biblical studies and long experience in teaching.

		The nation's Catholic bishops rejected a proposal yesterday to develop a pastoral statement on how Catholics should study the Bible, over objections by several bishops who said such a move will mean a public relations "disaster" for the church.
		Bishops voted 137-102 at the annual business meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to send the proposal back to committee, saying they were burdened with multiple documents and expensive projects and that they had agreed Monday to reduce their workload.

	CNS STORY: Bishops' statement on Bible study sent back for review
		But in discussion about the proposal, several bishops rose to question whether it was appropriate to be developing something new that had not gone through review by a formal committee and advance approval of expenditures, as will now be required under rules they agreed to a day earlier.
		The new procedures were prompted by concerns raised by bishops in the last few years over how to control costs and the increased number of projects undertaken in their name.
		Several bishops rose to support the pastoral statement, arguing that especially in areas with large numbers of evangelicals the Bible is an important part of ecumenical efforts.

		James was displeased with the Geneva Bible, which he felt undermined the theory of divine right of kings and contained marginal notes that made it unacceptable to church leaders.
		The Bishops’ Bible was used as the basis for this revision/translation, but it was also examined in the light of Hebrew and Greek documents, as well as compared with all other contemporary translations in various European languages.
		The scholars were able to build on the labors of many generations of Bible translators, and the revisers were able to draw from the recent growth in literary standards in the English language.

		WASHINGTON -- Despite pleas from Bible Belt bishops, the Catholic bishops of the United States yesterday voted to shelve plans to develop a statement urging greater use of the Bible, a move aimed at restraining spending and cutting down on a crush of publications they fear have little impact.
		The bishops' conference, headquartered in Washington, has a budget this year of $127 million, of which 24 percent is paid by dioceses; the balance comes from grants and government funds, such as money for refugee settlement.
		Outside the hotel where the bishops are meeting, leaders of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests called on the bishops to censure those among them who abused minors or failed to remove abusive priests.

		Now, for the first time in the history of the Church, there are Bishops who have stated that the Bible is not a guide to Christian conduct, and does not contain the words of eternal salvation.
		We know that the Bible is true from the consensus of the Fathers, the consensus of the Church through the ages, and the concensus of the faithful; what Cardinal Newman called the "sensus fidelium".
		Since all doctrine is based on the Bible, his denials of the teachings of the Church are denials of the Word of God.

		James' third rule was that the Bishops' Bible was to be the basis of the translation and it was to be corrected only to bring it into greater conformity to the meaning of the original languages.

		Imagine the chagrin of the English clerical establishment, life-long sworn opponents of the Bible in the hands of the "common people" (being sons of the nobility themselves) when Edward's reign ushered in a flood of Bible printing.
		Between the first edition of 1568 and the final edition of 1602, 18 distinct editions of the complete Bishops' Bible were printed, all but seven as folios (as this was the size Bible the Bishops needed in their churches).
		Examples of this particular Bible are not to be found in the British Museum, Huntington Library or American Bible Society collections; it ranks with the scarcest books of its period.

		The King James Version or Authorised Version of the Holy Bible was a translation in English for the benefit of the Church of England at the behest of King James I of England.
		The Bishops' Bible, however, enjoyed little popular esteem, and its popularity was eclipsed by the Geneva Bible, whose marginal notes espoused a Protestantism that was too Puritan and radical for King James's taste.

		This first edition of the Bishops’ Bible is a revision of the Great Bible undertaken by Archbishop Matthew Parker with the assistance of many bishops and scholars.
		The Bishops’ Bible is a tottering verbal edifice demonstrating that a committee put together a classic biblical translation only once (not this one, unfortunately, but the King James Bible forty-three years later.) The work of various translators was inharmonious; criticism was harsh upon publication and continues to this day.
		As with other sixteenth-century Bible translations, the Bishops’ Bible is a political statement as well as a translation of the Word of God.

		His main objects as primate were to preserve the settlement of 1559 from further change and to retain as far as possible the links with the past.

		This Bible represented the first efforts of the Church to put forth a Bible after the suppression of the sacred book during the troublesome times of the previous thirty years when many translators met a martyr’s death.

		Only three out of the 103 bishops questioned by the BBC said that the Scripture version of events - in which God created the world in six days - was the truth.
		However, most of the bishops, who filled in a questionnaire, did agree that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and that the 10 Commandments were still valid.

		King James appointed a commission to revise the Bishops' Bible, which was to contain 54 members and be a comprehensive revision, comparing the Greek text of Erasmus and the Hebrew Masoretic text--along with earlier translations.

		In July of 1604, James wrote to Bishop Bancroft that he had "appointed certain learned men, to the number of four and fifty, for the translating of the Bible." These men were the best biblical scholars and linguists of their day.
		One of the earliest concrdances was A Concordance to the Bible of the Last Translation, by John Down-ham, affixed to a printing of 1632.
		Subsequent versions of the Bible were likewise eclipsed, for the Authorized Version was the Bible until the advent of the Revised Version and ensuing modern translations.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Douay Bible
		The Old Testament was delayed by want of means, until the whole Bible was eventually published in two quarto volumes, in 1609 and 1610, by which time the college had returned to Douai, and the recommendation was signed by three doctors of that university.
		Although the Bibles in use in the twentieth century by the Catholics of England and Ireland are popularly styled the Douay Version, they are most improperly so called; they are founded, with more or less alteration, on a series of revisions undertaken by Bishop Challoner in 1749-52.
		The Irish editions are mostly known by the names of the bishops who gave the imprimatur: as Dr. Carpenter's New Testament (1783); Dr. Troy's Bible (1791); Dr. Murray's (1825); and Dr. Denvir's (1836) -- the last two of which have often been reprinted, and were circulated largely in England and Ireland.
