More than that. It was the Catholic Church that copied the Bible by hand before the printing press. We were the ones that protected it from the barbarian hordes that sacked from and later when the Vandals and Vikings etc... invaded from the north.

Yeah... I don't think you get to claim that when y'all were killing anyone else who tried to copy the Bible and burning their work.
