According to a Reuters report, the current dispute was provoked as the Vatican intended to revise the standard German Bible according to its official directive. Despite Protestants’ favour for original Biblical texts in ancient Hebrew and Greek, the Vatican requires the revision to conform to a Latin translation – traditionally the official language of reference in Catholicism.
“This directive has criteria that the Protestant side cannot accept,” said Lutheran Bishop Wolfgang Huber, chairperson of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), according to Reuters.
German Catholics and Protestants produced the current standard German Bible in the 1980s and have long used it in ecumenical services.
