history proves it was not Rome who opened the Bible to all nations and races and languages. Just the opposite. For centuries RCs were cautioned not to read the Bible but to rely on their bishops and their church for "interpretation."

Roman Empire was largely Christian by 5c. Europe, including Russia, was largely Christian by 9c. The Americas were largely Christian when the Spanish got done with them; the two continetns are still majority-Catholic.

The world was Catholic and Orthodox before northern europe fell to Luther and Henry VIII.

And Greek and Latin were the universal language of the Church. They still are.

I like your honest appraisal of the "missionary" work of the Conquistadors.
