Roman Catholic AnswerGreat heavens, NO. The Catholic Church has been printing the Holy Bible since the invention of a printing press, and for the fourteen centuries before that, thousands of monks spent their whole lives making new Bibles. Keep in mind that it was the Catholic Church that wrote and approved The Bible to begin with. Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible today, and certainly would have been none around for the protestants to mutilate. As it is, M. Luther removed seven books from the Bible, and tried mightily to alter the New Testament as well, he was foiled in the later attempt by other heretics. The only printing of Holy Bibles that the Church objected to were error filled books claiming to be the complete Bible. Please see the link below for more:Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
The official Bible version used by the Catholic Church is the New American Bible (NAB).

This answer assumes you mean, " ... profoundly destabilized the Church?" In my view, printing destabilized the Church by making the Bible more readily available to lay persons, especially in their native languages. When people began reading the Bible, it was inevitable that they would often come to conclusions about faith and practice that differed from Church teaching. This destabilized the Catholic Church because many more people were able to read the Bible. When only church leaders were able to read the Bible they were able to put in their own opinions and tell the people what they wanted them to do. When the masses got their hands on the Bible and read it for themselves, they discovered that a lot of what their church leaders were saying was actually not from the books.
