The protestants I know would agree with that. (The ones I know best are in some sort of denominationy thingy of the Presbyterian Church common in SE Asia, and some of them would rather die than use a bible other than the KJV.) My Christian education, however, has been Catholic (Mum's side) and Baptist (Dad's side).
