You mentioned the 15th century and a farmer....VERY few people in the 15th century could read anything...They had nothing to read.....until the Catholic Gutenberg invented the printing press, most peopple in the world had never even SEEN a book muchless read one...

Actually close to 10% could read .. by the reformation it was getting close to 40% ...but you know they all had ears and could hear the scriptures if read in their native tongue ..(NOT LATIN) ..

But just like today..how many practicing RC's rewad the scriptures ?? Those that go to church have snippets read to them ..thats about it

Notebook paper was always good enough for me. Not the Bible!!!

I don't know the percentage....maybe 90-95???

I'm sure that you have irrefutable data to counter that.... Mass is not only very thorough when it comes to scripture reading (We wrote it you know) but we also have the Eucharist which you have chosen to reject....sad!!
