You’re right on that. I didn’t mean to intend that the CC had intended to make available the Word of God to the common man. I only meant it, in the sense, that their preserving the Bible in the original languages made it possible for rogue Catholics or Christians to disseminate the Word to the common people.
If the CC had not done that, there might not have been Scriptures to disseminate.
OK, we’re closer to agreement, then. I myself would credit preservation of Christian scripture to the Irish Church, which to me was a separated entity in the Dark Ages. Catholics do not view it in this manner.
