They like to claim that no one could read so they can justify the Church from withholding Scripture from the laity.

Just stop for a minute and think about it for a second....if there was nothing in your town for the average person to read.....why and how would you learn to read??????sheesh

Good grief, the only bibles in existence at the time were precious hand written (by Monks)virtually no one other than royalty, ultra-wealthy, and libraries could afford them.....Just how could the church have gotten them to the laity?....They did try somewhat through statues, pictures, stained glass windows and the like, but of course the revolutionists busted up most of that stuff.....sigh, read a history book please.
