A sense of history is lacking.

Perhaps so. But on whose part? I don't disagree with the scarcity of Bibles. That wasn't the main points of my posting and you well know it. Rome wanted exclusive rights to distribute the Word as she saw fit and was willing to shed blood to keep it that way. You sidestepped why she insisted on Latin only and the political influences she used to maintain a monopoly. But historically that could be expected for a church that claims to be founded on a man who denied his Lord thrice.

"But historically that could be expected for a church that claims to be founded on a man who denied his Lord thrice."

What a remarkably thud-headed thing to say.

Peter, repentant, was forgiven thrice, with the thrice-repeated commands, "Feed my lambs, Feed my lambs, and feed my sheep." He got the job --- Chief Shepherd---- which Christ the Good Shepherd explained again less metaphorically, "Confirm (strengthen) the brethren." So if you want to accuse Catholics of being in the Church under the guidance of the man whom Christ Himself appointed: Yes. Yes. Gladly, yes. Guilty as charged.
