80. The reading of Sacred Scripture is for all.
81. The sacred obscurity of the Word of God is no reason for the laity to dispense themselves from reading it.
82. The Lord's Day ought to be sanctified by Christians with readings of pious works and above all of the Holy Scriptures. It is harmful for a Christian to wish to withdraw from this reading.
83. It is an illusion to persuade oneself that knowledge of the mysteries of religion should not be communicated to women by the reading of Sacred Scriptures. Not from the simplicity of women, but from the proud knowledge of men has arisen the abuse of the Scriptures and have heresies been born.
84. To snatch away from the hands of Christians the New Testament, or to hold it closed against them by taking away from them the means of understanding it, is to close for them the mouth of Christ.
85. To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication.
Sadly, there is much more should you desire to see it....
Bible-waving Protestant clergymen wrongly burned people at the stake for being "witches".
Protestants base their faith on Scripture Alone.
Thus, this display of sanctioned Protestant injustice is proof that the Bible is not inspired by God.
Comment?
This was shortly after the tremendous damage done to the faithful by the Albigensian Heresy through the early 13th century. The Albigensian Heresy was the result of sacred scripture ending up in the hands of people who had no authority to interpret it.
