Second, the Church of Rome has, historically, discouraged Catholics from owning Bibles and printed or wrote those Bibles in a language the populace (those who could read in their own language) couldn't understand.

Nonsense. Just what percentage of the population of Europe do you think was even literate in those days, anyway? Not many. And generally, if you were literate, you were literate in Latin.

So what's the harm of printing in English, German, French, etc.? The NT was written in what, Aramaic and Greek? The Church was OK with translating to Latin. How come? My theory is to make it harder for common people to read the Bible.
