[QUOTE="Rob Banks, post: 1251246, member: 12046"] Speaking of Bible translations and how they can be misleading, What is the Catholic position on lay people reading and interpreting the Bible? I know that during the Protestant Reformation, one of the major issues was whether or not lay people should be reading the Bible (as opposed to having it interpreted by priests and scholars). The old Catholic position seemed to be (correct me if I'm wrong) that lay people should not be reading or interpreting the Bible for themselves, but now virtually all Catholics encourage Bible reading. Even praying the Rosary requires you to read and meditate on certain Bible passages. [/QUOTE]
