Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Petrus Sutor (French: Pierre Cousturier; c. 1480 – 18 June 1537) was a French

Carthusian monk. Born in Chemere-le-Roy in the latter part of the 15th century, he earned a doctorate at the Sorbonne before teaching philosophy at the College of St. Barbe. He later became a monk, entering the Carthusian order. In 1519, he was made governor of the Carthusians of Paris. In 1534, he became prior of a monastery near Troyes.[1]

Sutor is known for being a critic of Erasmus[2] and writing against Protestantism.[3] For example, in his 1525 work De Translatione Bibliae (“On the Translation of the Bible”), he vehemently opposed the translation of the Bible into vernacular languages while upholding the sufficiency of St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate.[4][5] He “considered it sufficient that the people could recite the Lord’s Prayer, the Decalogue, the Creed and the Commandments of the Church.”[6]
