You mean the Catholics like Gutenberg, who made the inexpensive distribution of the bible possible? Or Johanned Mentelin, who published the bible in German just a few short years later? His bible was published throughout Germany for nearly a century, until Luther had it prohibited. Or the translators of the Douay-Rheims Catholic English bible, published 25 years before the King James bible? You know, the ones who hid in France because the Protestants would have them killed for publishing a bible OTHER than the Bishops’ bible?

I never knew Gutenberg or Mentelin were burned at the stake.
