You’re the one that brought up Benedict, not me!
I just said that it was 100 years ago that the idiots excommunicated my Grand Father for buying a Bible.
What is your problem?

100 years ago Pope Benedict XV was Pope. 97 years ago he issued an Encyclical greatly encouraging g the reading of scripture, something he had encouraged while a Cardinal by Gigi g away copies of Sacred Scripture to Catholics in Rome. This doesn’t really square with the story regarding your grandfather. By your account, the Pope would be excommunicated lie your grandfather.
