there were many false “scripture” interpretations around at the time. The church knew that people could not afford the true hand written copies from the monastaries, hence, for their own protection, and to prevent heresies from spreading, they regulated reading material to the masses.

But I thought you just said that the RCC didn't keep the Bible from the people.

for their own protection

read my post very carefully....I stated that there were many false interpretations of scripture to be had and the church was trying to prevent her people from being subjected to false teachings. It wasn't until the printing press was invented that the average citizen could afford a book of any kind. The real bible has always been available to Catholics and the Catholic Mass is the most biblical church service that you could ever attend....by far.

"But I thought you just said that the RCC didn't keep the Bible from the people."

Are you saying that the vernacular transcripts in support of heresies are "the Bible" or simply trying to fabricate a debate point?
