Why does the Catholic Church twist the words of the Bible?

For the mere reason changing it to their liking so that it reads the way THEY want it to read. They change the meaning of the bible simply to suit their religion. They have even added to the bible, which is a no-no according to God. It says so in Revelation 22:18,19 - For I testfy unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 - And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the bok of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I don't know where you get the notion that the Catholic Church twist the words of the Bible. I am personally a Protestant but i believe that they too have a Bible that speaks the truth. It is only how the Bible came to have the books it has now. Pls do a research of the origin of the bible and you will know what i mean.
How is that possible? Since the Catholic churches brought you the bible. They have been studying it for 2000 years in the light of the most research ever done about what the bible has to say. Do you think that your simple read through is more accurate? How many translations have you read in the original languages?

Seek some knowledge and read the Douray Rheims Bible
*They don't twist it any more than the baptist, methodists, Presbetarians, lutherians, and probably not as much as the Pentecostals. All you have to do is read the bible with the attitude that it says what it means and means what it says and you will see how all of these twist it to make it appears it says what they want it to. *
