>>A boy who plows.<<

You mean plowboy. Most of them couldn’t read.

“Most of them couldn’t read.”

But they could understand Latin, hence the Vulgate - a translation so that the “ployboys” {sic} could have the Word read aloud to them daily. And for nearly 1700 years the Church has read aloud, in public, the ENTIRE Word of God, including the parts Luther and the other heresiarchs excised from the Holy Writ.

And most of those plowboys learned to read as soon as they possessed a Bible in their own language (and could probably spell better than I.)

But Rome has always feared a literate congregation who reads the Scriptures.
