Wait, I thought you said “The Church kept scripture out of the hands of noone....”.

Then I showed you this proving they did just that.

“Canon 14. We prohibit also that the laity should be permitted to have the books of the Old or New Testament; unless anyone from motive of devotion should wish to have the Psalter or the Breviary for divine offices or the hours of the blessed Virgin; but we most strictly forbid their having any translation of these books.

Which specifically refers to ”the Old or New Testament”. Now you come up with “there were many false “scripture” interpretations around at the time.”? Are you kidding me? Canon 14 specifically states that ”We prohibit also that the laity should be permitted to have the books of the Old or New Testament”. Then it goes on to say we most strictly forbid their having any translation of these books”.. Canon 14 is not restricting copies or translations that were “false interpretations”. It denied them having “the books of the Old or New Testament” period. Something you denied and are now trying to somehow bamboozle us into believing something different than truth. It ain’t working with those of us who do know truth.

"Then I showed you this proving they did just that."

Except that you exposed just enough of the canon's of these councils to "prove" your point, but not enough to reveal the truth. These councils were called in response to the Cathar and Albigenesian, which were using adulterated vernacular versions of the Bible that produced doctrines that were destructive to society and the individuals. It was these "bibles", not unlike the Watchtower, Book of Mormon or Koran that were banned.

God is served when we who participate in these threads are more concerned with what is true and not in trying to deceive to prove who is true.

Peace be with you
