The Council of Trent is when the Counter Reformation began.
As the Protestants were publishing Bibles in their native tongues and the printing press was making censorship almost impossible, the Catholics had no choice but to change their policies to avoid losing further ground.
The Catholics also tried blowing up King James and the Parliament in 1605 after he commissioned the King James version as well.
"the Catholics had no choice but to change their policies to avoid losing further ground"
Once again you're implying that the Catholic church was trying to censor the Bible. The Latin Bible used by the church (Vulgate) literally came from the word "vulgar". It was a language everyone could understand for countless centuries. The Bible is read at Mass. If the Catholics were trying to censor the Bible they did a bad job. Not to mention that protestant translations made by the likes of Teddy Beza and Martin Luther contained deliberate errors to push protestant theology. This is why the Catholics were against a shitload of vernacular translations, because it would be easier to distort the word of God. This is exactly what happened. There were even unauthorized Catholic translations that were riddled with mistakes, like the Wycliffe Bible that predated Tyndale for almost 200 years.
"The Catholics" you speak of were a group of rogue terrorists who tried to kill James to restore the Catholic monarchy. Mary I had previously tried this as well. It had nothing to do with his translation because previous English translations for protestants existed at that time (Tyndale translation, Bishops Bible, Great Bible, Geneva Bible). King James only made his translation because he was pissed that the notes in the Geneva Bible (which is what was gaining popularity among Anglicans) spoke poorly about monarchies.
The Roman Catholic Church fully supported the divine right of kings and propped up the monarchies which swore allegiance to them. They let the kings do their dirty work and deposed of them if they developed any sort of an independent streak.
Speaking of William Tyndale, he was burned at the stake for translating the Bible into English. Tyndale claimed the reason the Roman Catholic Church forbid owning or reading the Bible was to control and restrict religious teaching and to increase their own power and influence.
In true Catholic fashion, the Roman Catholic Church washes its hands of any blame in Tyndale's execution, even though they deemed him to be a heretic and their arrangement with the Holy Roman Empire ensured his fate.
Ultimately, it was the secular authorities that proved to be the end for Tyndale. He was arrested and tried (and sentenced to die) in the court of the Holy Roman Emperor in 1536. His translation of the Bible was heretical because it contained heretical ideas—not because the act of translation was heretical in and of itself.
Oh wow it's been a whole 15 minutes since I heard Tyndale was killed because he translated the Bible. That's literally wrong.
He was killed by the protestant king of England for shitting on his divorce from Catherine. His last words were asking God to open the king's eyes. Henry was the one who ordered his death.
20th century? LOL
Douay Rheims was 1582 homeboy.
