"The availability of the Bible, the word of God, was an emancipation to Europe, being emancipated from the chains of political-ecclesiastical slavery individual freedom began to spring up everywhere."

Yeah, right. Protestantism was institutionalized in plenty of nations with as great a degree of totalitarianism as any Catholic country well before the majority of people could read.

Your impression of history is a muddled hodgepodge build on the false notion that everything good must have necessarily arose from Protestantism. If you want to talk about freedom and liberty, then you can thank Catholics for the fact that you aren't speaking Turkish right now. When the Ottomans were on the march, it was those evil Catholic states that pushed them back, while many Protestant fronts were rendering and receiving aid from the Turk.

"Totalitarian Romanists hate Sola Scriptura"

It's a made-up, false tradition of men not found anywhere in Scripture, so why wouldn't we hate it?

Is that anything like the ridiculous myths of the Roman Catholic cult surrounding their version of me woman named mary and other dead people?

2 Timothy 3: 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
