Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. The Catholic Epistles are not so named because they must never be translated out of the Latin. They are called the Catholic Epistles because they are letters written by apostles who were not directly affiliated with a specific local church, but were intended to be read by a wider, universal audience (i.e. Catholic). These letters include James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude. They have been translated into many languages, including English.
