"They were not faulty. Tyndales was remarkably accurate, and many copies of Wycliffe were approved for the rich - just not for commoners. They were collected and burned (as were the folks producing them, when able) because they were accurate and meant for commoners. The Catholic Church was opposed to COMMONERS getting their hands on scripture. The rich could be controlled. The poor & middle class could not."No offense intended, but that sounds more like an Occupy Wall Street rant than anything resembling actual history.
