For the greater glory of God would be acknowledging HIS work in providing Scripture and preserving it.

Not taking credit for the Catholic church doing it.

actually it is YOU who are not giving credit to the Catholic Church:

.....which holds the original complete works, and oldest fragment of works of the books of the bible.

.....who voted on the Canon of the Bible and who accepted the very books you read and rejected the ones you don’t.

.....who translated the bible from the original Greek and Aramaic texts into Latin via St Jerome.

.....who copied and recopied the bibles BY HAND through the dark ages.

.....who printed the Bible (Gutenberg was a Catholic); but, probably unknown to you, that there had already been three or four printed versions of the Latin/German bible PRIOR to Gutenberg.

.....whose first six Popes were martyred for their faith.

.....whose Councils defended early Christians against all heresies, which they did in writing and for which there is a printed record.

.....whose Crusaders shed their blood at Tours so Spain and Europe did not become Islamist.

The Holy Spirit handed down the Scripture and the Catholic Church preserved and defended it.

Again to be protestant is to be ignorant of History.

Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
