They still do. The Greek Orthodox does not permit the Bible to be translated into modern day Greek. It is still in the original language. However, although some words such as Hades have been mixed up with the english Hell (or the catholic version of it) in Greek it just means the Grave. Sometimes it is good to read something in it's original language but on the whole if the poplulation cannot read the Word of God, it falls prey to false teachings and corrupt religious leaders.

When one begins to learn the original languages the Bible is written in, you find out that some of the words loose their flavor through translation. Some words in the original texts have deeper meaning than the English equivalent. This does not mean that the English version is any less holy, it just means the reader some times has to pay closer attention and read between the lines quite often.

It isn't! God's message is for everyone. It's the reason the Holy Spirit came to rest on the small group of 120 disciples shortly after Jesus death and they came to speak in the tongues of the people from other nations that were there in Jerusalem.
The Church fought to keep the Bible from being translated into the common language as a means of keeping themselves separate from the masses. Also by preventing the masses from delving into scripture themselves they could promulgate whatever lies they chose and claim they were backed up by God's word.
Many were killed for their effort to bring God's word to the common "man". William Tyndale was one such person... a Catholic priest from ... hmmmm ... back in the 1500's I believe.

Its not less Holy in any language, just by bad translation. Actually the old English, or King James version has been proven most accurate by many scholars over the years.

latin was used as a cover up like a secret language so that no one could dispute the origins of the bible.... if people couldn/'t read it they could not question it... how ever the second commandment is don't bow down to statues... looks like even when we could read it people don't question it. Irony

well to tell the truth you havent heard what they have been sayin lately have you? i heard around that in one country they called Jesus Christ, JesUs ChRist, i spelled it caps like that to let you know they pronounce it deifferent! so if they cant even say his name or think that hes called that then they have a good chance of having their own bible for say.
