It is a historical fact that Protestants labored to get Bibles into the hands of their people, Catholics and Orthodox did not.

Actually it's a hisotrical fact that the orthodox were the FIRST to translate the bible into local languages [in fact inventing alphabets for people in order to facilitate this] and West Europeons tried to jail them for this.

If this statement was correct, doesn't it seem a tad odd that the Orthodox have yet to complete a full English translation?
