That is a fact of history!

No...That's Catholic history written by Catholics, for Catholics...

That's like the link you posted to that phony former Protestant self-proclaimed Christian turned Catholic who claimed Protestants believe that if they own a bible, they are saved...And this guy was a Bishop...And you guys just eat it up...

The author of that piece is no “phoney” he was a Protestant Bishop, 100 years ago, before converting to Catholocism.
Read it all.
And, he did not mean that you were “saved” simply by owning a Bible.
He made it clear that throughout most of history, it was impossible for Christians to own a Bible.
They were far too expensive and far too rare, and, for the early Church, the Bible did not exist as a single text, as it does today.
