The Church of Western Europe translated the Bible into Latin so that it could be readily understood in the universal language of the west. In later times, when Latin had ceased to be the universal language of western Europe and was understood by few outside the clergy, the Church found that a Latin Bible gave its clergy power, because the people had to rely on priests to read and interpret the Bible. The Catholic Church strongly resisted any attempts to translate the Bible from Latin. Although translation of the Bible into Latin had once given educated people access to the Bible, Latin was now a barrier to wider access.
