The Church split partly based on who spoke Latin (the Latins, a derogatory term in the Church of the East) vs who spoke Greek. The latins are the same thing as RC, Roman Catholicism. They were 1 church out of 5, who had a pact to not develop doctrine unless all were in agreement.
Rome stopped agreeing with any of the other 4 churches long before the great schism of 1054. They continued to develop doctrine anyway. Rome's Latin Bible went through a long string of translations before making it into English. I have a hard copy that shows this lineage; it's messy. But there is no direct translation from Hebrew.
Greek speakers liked the Bible that was translated from Hebrew for the OT, and originally written in Greek for the NT; the Septuagint. Since this was all Greek, they wouldn't write anything as LORD. Yet as this was translated into English some translators did a direct translation using the LORD convention to denote anytime "the name" was used. This is not at all limited to Pr (Protestants) but included some others including EO (Easter Orthodox) aka "the church of the east or the other 4 original churches that weren't Rome. (Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexander and ... what's that other one I always forget? It's not Constantinople is it?)
Jews held "the name" to be so holy that one should not utter it. There's disagreement if it was forgotten how to even say it or if it was kept alive via the High Priest who got to go into the Holy of Holies once a year. But this distinction
is what the LORD printing convention is about
It's a great thing to meditate on as you drift off, "holy, holy, holy ..."
Lol once upon a time, in a land far away ...
