In Ghost Story, there is a reference fto Father Forthill's worn King James Bible.
The KJV isn't normally used in Catholic circles, there are 2 branches of the tree in the translations from early manuscripts. The KJV is on one branch, and the normally used Catholic Bible - the Douay-Rheims - is on the other branch.
MY question I guess - i why would a Catholic Priest be using the King James Version?
If he tried to preach from it, he'd have the whole Congregation up in arms right up to and including the bishop.
I love the stories.
I'm also a bible college student.
