***Look it up.

The fact is that as fast as the Bibles were printed they were sold.***

Are you paying attention? We were discussing the Wyclif issue which was hand copied. We were also discussing the relatively few numbers that were available and that the vast majority of people were illiterate.

And the Lollards who followed Wyclif and carried Bibles were such a threat to the RCC that they had to be persecuted.

So, the reason that literacy levels didn't reach higher levels is because of the RCC persecution keeping the Wycliff Bible out of people's hands.

Such was the irrational hatred for Wyclif that at the Council of Constance, they had his bones dug up to burn them!

This was the same Council that had THREE Popes claiming to be the REAL Pope, and each of them was as degenerate as the other two.

The Council also burned Jan Huss at the stake, after promising safe conduct and his death sparked a revolution in Bohemia that shattered European unity and laid the groundwork for Luther a hundred years later.
