I disagree with your statements on the Church opposing religious freedom and forbidding the reading of Protestant Bibles. Unfortunately, peeling back all the layers of the “onion” to properly explain and discuss those issues with facts, and not hearsay, is probably beyond the levels of effort we are both willing to put into the discussion right now.

I've debated those very points here before, it wouldn't be particularly difficult. For instance, the Index Librorum Prohibitorum was abolished in 1966 as a direct result of Vatican II. Within this list of prohibited books was every Bible used by Protestant Groups. Numerous Catholic authors advocating freedom of religion were censored right up through the fifties into the sixties.
