At one time the Catholic Church actively discouraged the flock from reading the Bible. Only the highly educated clergy were capable of understanding and “interpreting” it for them.

Not the case today.

If you read a legitimate bible (and not the Catholic bible), why would you remain a a Catholic, since so many of their practices are against what the bible says.
