It is a historical fact that Protestants labored to get Bibles into the hands of their people, Catholics and Orthodox did not.
Actually it's a hisotrical fact that the orthodox were the FIRST to translate the bible into local languages [in fact inventing alphabets for people in order to facilitate this] and West Europeons tried to jail them for this.
