I won't comment on the fact there were two King James authorized versions of 
the bible.  The first version being the one with the Deuterocanonical  books 
contained in the Septuagint, and the second without those seven books.  In 
order for there to be a King James version, there had to be earlier 
translations.  I don't believe Luthar employed that version when he wrote 
his Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum in 1517.
  Because, I believe the King James authorized version of scriptures was 
authorized in 1611.----- Original Message -----

Christians are told to read and interpret the word ask questions. And to 
make sure the Shepard they are under is preaching the right way and not 
leading us astray. Catholic don't want their people to know the scriptures. 
That I'd why king James had it published so that the people could know the 
Bible for themselves.
