Yes, the RCE was keen on getting the vernacular translations into the hands of the common man. Endorsed it, in fact. Remember all the monies the popes spent getting the Bible out to the peasants?

The article is indeed interesting...reads very much like a polemic wrapped in footnotes. The design? To attempt to denigrate Luther's contributions to Christianity.

Not a mention of Hus, either.

“Remember all the monies the popes spent getting the Bible out to the peasants?”

How many peasants could read in the Middle Ages?

“The design? To attempt to denigrate Luther’s contributions to Christianity.”

His only contribution was heresy.

“Not a mention of Hus, either.”

Why would there be one since the article was largely about German Bibles. Hus spoke Czech. You really don’t know much about these things do you?
