“Yep...put it in Latin so the masses couldn’t read it for themselves.”

that is so pathetic can’t you be more creative?

In the period immediately following the translation of the bible into the Latin Vulgate much less than 10% of the population was literate.

If they were literate there were no bibles in print.

EACH BIBLE WAS HAND COPIED BY CATHOLIC MONKS AND DISTRIBUTED TO CATHOLICS CHURCHES WHERE IT WAS READ EACH SUNDAY AT MASS

every body finally got there chance when the good protestants convinced the good Gutenburg to print his bible,
except for the fact that Gutenburg was a Catholic.

And prior to Gutenburg there were at least ten versions of the Vulgate in print in limited in Germany.

The only way your bible made it through the Dark Ages was that Catholics copied and preserved it.
