There are those that contend that Rome rejects and burned only bibles which she herself printed and found to contain heretical interpretations.
The Historical Record refutes such claims, and proves that Rome considered the Protestant Bible heretical and for this reason burned it and those who desired that the simple man should own for himself God's precious WORD.

Pope Pius VII in 1816, denounced Bible Societies as a crafty device by which the very foundation of religion are undermined , a pestilence which must be remedied and abolished. The authorized Catholic Dictionary records, with apparent satisfaction, that Leo XII, Pius VIII, and Pius IX have likewise , in turn warned Catholics against the Protestant Bible Societies.
Leo XIII, in 1897, prohibited all versions in any vernacular language made by non-Catholics, and especially those published by the Bible Societies. In the document, he altogether prohibited vernacular versions even by Catholics, unless approved by the Holy See or published under the vigilant care of the bishops with annotations.
Rome knows that an open Bible, without Notes, spells her ruin. For no Scripture teaches anything about Purgatory, the worship of Mary or the saints, or upholds the Confessional, the Mass and the priesthood.
(quoted in The Indian Christian, November, 1922)
(Rev.) Dr. Cahill declared that he would rather the Catholic should read the worst book of immorality that the Protestant Bible-- that forgery of Gods Word, that slander of Christ.
(Roman Catholic Tablet, December 17, 1853 p. 804 )
Do you allow your flock to read the Bible at all? said a writer in the Contemporary Review to a friend of his, a parish priest. No , sir I do not; you forget that I am a physician, not a prisoner of souls.
(April 1894, p.576 )
Romes greatest enemy is Gods Word. Romes hostility to the free circulation of the Bible is a matter of history.
Even to this day in Roman Catholic countries, the Bible is almost unknown, and the public burning of Bibles (sent out by Bible Societies) in South America is an object lesson how she still seeks to hinder the circulation of Gods own Book whenever she has the power. Bibles were burnt in Rome as recently as 1923m in the public street.
(Heresies Exposed by W.C. Irvine p. 140-141)
Among the chief machinations by which in our times non-Catholic of various denominations try to ensnare Catholic believers and turn their minds away from the holiness of their Faith, a prominent place is held by the Bible Societies. These societies, first instituted in England and since extended far and wide, we now behold in battle array, conspiring to translate the books of divine Scripture into all the popular languages, to issue immense numbers of copies, (referring to the KING JAMES BIBLE) to spread them indiscriminately among Christians and heathens, and to entice every individual to read them without any guidance.
Pope Gregory XVI, Encyclical Inter Praecipuas, May 8, 1844 )

In Mexico and most all south American countries even today in the 21st Century, the Bible is not used by the Roman Catholic faithful, in the Phillipines, and other asian countries, the Bible is not encouraged as a source of personal study.
William Tyndale was branded a heretic in the early 1850s as well as John Rogers who was imprisoned and burned alive at the stake for the same offense of heresy in 1855, charged by the Bishop Tunstall of London

I have posted this as refutation to all those who would even pervert history on this matter.
Man can say what he wants, but history proves otherwise.
Unity amongst those that seek to unify must at least acknowledge the historical record of fact.
His words are the words of LIFE.

We have given you Scripture that we feel supports our Faith. If you don't like our interpretation, at least recognize that we have Scripture we gleaned that teaching from.
I see that Lion Heart gets under your skin but to imply that people who adhere to the teachings of Martin Luther do so using the "edited" version of the Bible is arrogant and unsubstantiated except by the RCC and her sympathizers. In essence, all you've said here is that anyone who does not use the "Catholic Bible" is using the "edited version." And if that is what you meant to say, what is your opinion of the faith of the Protestants? Is that, too, edited?
