You are surely on a roll! Your proclaimed "Catholics" couldn't read or write but yet you want us to believe it is those illiterars who wrote the scriptures. I find it incredibly sad that that makes sense to you.

many people could write BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE COMMON PEOPLE WERE ILLITERATE.

Let's look at the conversation. I said:

"Jesus chose lowly fishermen and even they could read and write".

Then you said:

"pray tell, what did they have to read??? All books, at that time, were hand written."

See where we were SPECIFICALLY talking about the apostles at that point? Now you try dodge? Could you be more disingenuous?
