The translators in the KJV say the exact same thing More did. They’re all liars too, right? Gee, that would be fitting for Protestantism wouldn’t it? All the translators were just liars. Yep. The KJV was made by a pack of Protestant liars. Yeah, sure.

“If the Catholic Church had encouraged commoners to see scripture, then why did many thousands risk death to buy Tyndale’s work?”

Give me all the names of those so executed for buying or owning Tyndale’s translation.

“BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Ah, written like a man with no evidence for his claims.

More claimed Tyndale erred in translating using love, repent, congregation and elder. More also knew enough Greek to know that Tyndale was right. Thus, More lied.

The KJV is flawed, because King James had the translators support church structure over the truth, noting, “No bishop, no king”. Like More, King James cared more for power than truth.

“In 1408 the English clergy, meeting at Oxford under the direction of Archbishop Thomas Arundel, passed what are known as the “Constitutions of Oxford.” These laws outlawed the reading and translation of the Scriptures into the English vernacular without the permission of the bishop. The laws declared the English translation of the Bible to be illegal. Those who were discovered with copies could be charged with heresy. The Constitutions of Oxford remained in effect for nearly one hundred and thirty years until King Henry VIII licensed the Matthews Bible to circulate in 1537.”
