We are the only ones that do. don’t forget Luther. (Paraphrasing): If it were not for the papist we would not have the Bible.

If it were not for Romans crucifying Jesus, we would not have salvation. If it were not for Jews rejecting Jesus, we Gentiles would not have been grafted in.

If I were to extend gratitude for historical preservation of Scripture through dark ages of decline, utter corruption and war, it would be to the Irish Church, which carried on and preserved them in isolation for centuries, having little to no contact with the nightmare that was Rome in those times.

Source link?

This thread is now official, 35000, 40000 denominations, Luther's unsourced quote (which can double for the Catholic 'we wrote the Bible' assertion).
