@Time: And there's the rub---reformation. The Septuagint is considered apocryphal because the church hadn't agreed on solidified translation, hence the importance of Geneva. Mad ol King Jimmy didn't like that so he reshaped it into something he could use as a political tool.

That was the main power grab of the schizm. What remained as the Orthodox was fine to let the old translations remain as a basis for study and philosophy, while the rest used the label of heterodoxy as a means to solidify their position.
