**4. A last point must always be kept clearly in mind, for it concerns one of the greatest delusions entertained by Protestants and makes their fierce attacks on Rome appear so silly and irrational— the point, namely, that the Bible, as we have it now, was not printed in any language at all till about 1500 years after the birth of Christ, for the simple reason that there was no such thing as printing known before that date. **

And the first Bible printed was in Latin as far as I know.

Does the writer of those words actually understand how silly and irrational he sounds? DUH! Of course printed versions of the Bible couldn't happen until the printing press was invented, but he is delusional if he asserts nobody had copies of the books of the Bible both shortly after the death of Christ as well as WAY before then. What do you think SCRIBES' jobs were?

Honestly, some of the junk being said on threads like this sounds like a clumsy attempt to smear "Protestants" with all the mud that can be gathered OR invented! Is THIS the caliber of Religion Forum threads you Catholics support?
