“Yeah, it was Martin Luther and not Gutenberg. Not.”
And it was your fat Bishop, most likely basing his decision based on the social class of the individual, who decided if you were worthy to read the Bible for yourself without constant supervision of a Priest.

I’m sure you’d let anyone just walk off with a treasure worth tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. YOu’re so stuck in a modernist mindset that everyone learns to read English, books are cheap, and so forth, that you can’t even imagine a different time and place.

Well, that “fat bishop” (oh, surely that’s not a sign of anti-Catholic bigotry now is it?) apparently had no problem with 22 Catholic Bible editions printed before Luther’s so he apparently wanted lots of people to have them.
I’m going to sign off now for tonight. Tomorrow I have to get up early to help two friends to sell Catholic books - including Bibles - to several hundred people at an all weekend conference. A number of the people there are converts. It should be fun. Take care.
