*3 An
illustration of how some learned Roman Catholics have estimated the
Protestant Greek New Testament can be seen when we read of the Catholic
legislation on forbidden books. A commentator says: "In diocesan
seminaries the textbook prescribed in Greek was very often some portion
of the original text of the New Testament, and Protestant editions were
selected, as they contained a more ample vocabulary, and, perhaps,
better grammatical annotations than Catholic editions. Such an act would
appear quite pardonable and excusable, as the text was entire and pure
But according to the present rule . . . bishops have no power to select
such works."–"A Commentary on the Present Index
Legislation," Rev. T. Hurley, D. D., p. 70. New York:Benziger
Brothers, 1908. With their feelings against Protestant books, such
permits could not have been given, unless the superiority of the book
demanded it. <BACK>
