If someone stumbled upon a Roman Catholic Bible that had printed in the cover, "If you aren't a priest you shouldn't read this."

... Should you?

I know it's been awhile since they burned people for such things and no one wants apologies, etc., but this seemed like the time to ask...

What does that have to do with the subject of the thread? Also, the whole "the Catholic Church didn't allow regular people to read the Bible" is ages-old propaganda.

I'd say that notation needs to give way in the face of multiple Papal encyclicals advocating Bible study by the laity and granting indulgences for the pious reading of Scripture.

I'd also say that you are a troll.

It's been a while since we had this happen ...

You really should practice better password security. Some malefactor has hacked your account, and is using it to post the most risible stupidity. If I were you, I'd be rather annoyed about the matter.

Making trouble *and* making yourself look dumb? Wow, it's a two-fer!

Go away.

Let me take the high road here

Document the existence of such a Bible and I'll give you an answer.

I know it's been awhile since they burned people for such things....

You know this? Who are the "they"? Such serious charges deserve documentation from a credible source.

If you are incapable of doing so, then maybe you should rethink making such outrageous claims.
