I completely and utterly disagree with the idea of the Curch being able to change the Bible. The Bible is God's word, and no-one, not even the Pope, who has too much power anyway, should mess with it.
I will not stand for the changing of the scriptures to fit any one particular person, and would start a revolt if it were to be done.
I urge all Christians, whether you're Catholic or Protestant, to make sure that the Bible is not changed in any way.

I’m not going to say that this list is etched in stone. Here’s what this is: On authority of Professor C. Tisendorf’s notes on the reading of the two oldest Greek manuscripts, the Sinaitic and the Vatican #1209. The words listed, found in our common King James Version are not found in the oldest manuscripts.
