The Vatican will never allow access to the original versions to protect the church, which is understandable in so many ways.

Have you got any links to back up your notion that the Vatican has altered the Bible? There's a difference between altering it and only using certain books, the main one being (I think it's called) The Gospel of Phillip. That was 'removed' as it mentions Jesus allegedly kissing Mary Magdalene. It doesn't change anything about Jesus, his divinity or his legacy other than the notion that he might have been married to mary, something I certainly don't have a problem with but Catholicism does considering its stance on female priests and leaders.
Also I feel the need to point out again that the Vatican only speaks for Catholics and not the majority of Christians.
