If it were as simple as Roman Catholics wanting access to a "faithful" translation of the Scripture, what would hinder them from simply purchasing existing copies of the ESV? Of course we should have no problem selling or giving Bibles to anyone who wants one. The implication seems to be there is more than these Roman Catholics wanting access to "faithful" Bibles, right?
No, the Apocyrpha may not be evil in itself, but knowing that the Roman Catholic Church affirms it to be Scripture, doesn't that change the equation at all? I can't help but think this situation goes a step beyond just giving/selling/licensing a Bible.
(And as an aside I won't rant about too much, maybe this is a good illustration of how the whole "licensing" of Bibles may be problematic too )
