Guess this explains why the RCC didn't even want you reading the Bible until about 1960..... Absolutely false.

Looks like I need to dig up the historical sources during the Reformation whereby the Roman Catholic church burned protestants for merely possessing a Bible........

Go for it. A metric ton of such references would not establish your claim that the Catholic Church did not want Catholics reading the bible until about 1960 or so.

When you do, be sure to note if translation was an issue.

And we thought Rev. Wright was silly for reveling in the injustices from 150 years ago.

No one ever got burned for possessing a true Bible.
