Me neither. But the original post was talking about those heroic people who sacrificed their lives to make sure that people could read the bible, and those are two people most responsible for that. So what other conclusion can I draw?

Thank God for so many men, some willing to pay the ultimate price, to get God’s Word into the hands of the people.

Here is my original post. The article was specifically about Tyndale who was strangled and burned. In no way did I attack Catholics, or even reference Protestants only, as I acknowledged "so many men" including some who were willing to "pay the ultimate price." Don't you think Gutenberg, Erasmus, Jerome etc. would be included in the "so many men" category?

Why would you automatically assume I did not know about Gutenberg, or many other contributors, from printers to translators, to scholars? Did I really need a history lesson from you? Why would you take offense to such a benign statement in the first place?

Can I just simply be very thankful to have God's Word in my language and in my possession, and recognize those folks, including Tyndale, who made it possible? Who the heck gets offended by that?

You’re probably confused why I associated Erasmus with Dorien Grey. I meant Lord Henry FROM Dorien Grey, not the character OF Dorien Grey.
