This is a bunch of bologna. The Catholic Church, for many years, forbid the common people from having Bibles. The true “church” does not have a name over it’s door. The true church is comprised of born-again believers in every denomination who are “born again.” In fact, any group which claims to be the “true church,” is probably a false one. Jesus commended Peter for the wisdom given him by the Holy Spirit when he made the statement, “thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God.” He then stated that upon this rock, I will build my church. Jesus didn’t mean the church was to be built upon Peter, but, upon the truth of who Christ claimed to be - and was. If you read other Scriptures, you will find numerous references to Christ being that ROCK, the Chief Cornerstone. The church isn’t built upon ANY man or mantle - it’s built upon the shed blood of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.
“The Catholic Church, for many years, forbid the common people from having Bibles.”
Come to think of it, I remember that! Back in the ‘50s — maybe into the ‘60s — my Catholic friends in school weren’t allowed to read the Bible; it was contraband. My dad, a Baptist pastor, was friends with Fr. George at the Catholic church. When Dad asked him why, he told Dad “they might learn too much.”
