You are so right. The catholics killed people for simply having the Bible. What were they so afraid of? People really had to fight to have their own copies. I have never understood that. Catholics never gave people anything.

By keeping the people ignorant, it was easier to keep them under their power.

No they didn't and besides, Bibles were hand copied, extraordinarily expensive, 90+ percent of the people couldn't read and lies concerning the Catholic church have been around for centuries....
