I hear that the Vulgate was declared free from moral and theological error. Which Pope did this, in what document? Where can I read it?
 
Hi Ephel,

From the Council of Trent :
Moreover, the same holy council considering that not a little advantage will accrue to the Church of God if it be made known which of all the Latin editions of the sacred books now in circulation is to be regarded as authentic, ordains and declares that the old Latin Vulgate Edition, which, in use for so many hundred years, has been approved by the Church, be in public lectures, disputations, sermons and expositions held as authentic, and that no one dare or presume under any pretext whatsoever to reject it.

This means that the Vulgate can be used to support a point of view without being challenged as incorrect.

This does not mean that there are no errors of translation. It simply means that there are no errors of doctrine.

Verbum
