I don't know, considering many priests at the time hadn't even seen a Bible.

That's a newsflash to me... It was my understanding that there was one in every parish, chained to the pulpit (not to prevent the laity from reading it, as if often claimed, but rather to prevent theft, as a hand-copied Bible would cost about a year's worth of the average working man's wages)
