In 1881, Cambridge scholars B. F Westcott and F. J. A. Hort used Vaticanus as a basis for a Greek text of the New Testament, now called the Westcott-Hort or Alexandrian, text. Some parts of Vaticanus are missing or damaged. Hebrews ends at 9:14 and the Pastorals, Philemon, and Revelation are missing. Westcott and Hort used [[Codex Sinaiticus]], an uncial manuscript nearly as old as Vaticanus, to fill in these gaps. Revelation was taken from [[Codex Alexandrinus]], a fifth century uncial. In more recent times, the Biblical quotations used by the church fathers have been cataloged and papyrus scrolls of various New Testament books have been found. Both of these sources are older than the uncial manuscripts. Yet they tend to confirm the validity of the Westcott-Hort text.

Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, used as the basis for modern translations gloated by Roman Catholics as an "exoneration" of Jesuit Bibles from early Protestant critics, apparently omitted the Pastoral Epistles for directly refuting beliefs held by [[Origen]] which were adopted by the Catholic Church; [https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1-Timothy-2-5/ 1 Timothy 2:5] asserts only a single mediator, Jesus Christ, between God and men, contradicting Roman Catholicism's teaching that individuals must confess their sins before a priest in addition to praying to Mary and the saints.
