Bible Translations

The Christian Bible was first allowed to be translated in 1759, by Pope Clement XIII. Born Carlo della Torre di Rezzonico, he was the Pope for a grand total of ten years, reigning from July 1758 to February 1769.

During his rule, Clement championed dialogue with Protestants, hoping to mend the schism between the Catholic Church and England. Sadly, this did not bear fruit, and problems escalated after his death. He also attempted to mend relations with the Jesuits, which his successor, Pope Clement XIV, issued an abolishing order in 1773.
