Wonder why the RCC hated the printing press so... and Gutenberg. Hmmm?This statement is not right and is so absurd it is not even wrong.
Gutenberg Bible
The first Bible printed using movable type was The CATHOLIC BIBLE in the mid 1400's. It contained the exact same canon used by the Catholic Church today. Approximately 200 were scheduled to be printed on rag cotton linen paper and around 30 on velum (animal skin).
There are less than 25 known to have survived. One of which is in the Library of Congress. Learn some real history.
The first hand-written English language Bible manuscripts were produced in the 1380's AD by John Wycliffe, an Oxford professor, scholar, and theologian. Wycliffe, (also spelled âWycliffâ & âWyclifâ), was well-known throughout Europe for his opposition to the teaching of the organized Church, which he believed to be contrary to the Bible. With the help of his followers, called the Lollards, and his assistant Purvey, and many other faithful scribes, Wycliffe produced dozens of English language manuscript copies of the scriptures. They were translated out of the Latin Vulgate, which was the only source text available to Wycliffe. The Pope was so infuriated by his teachings and his translation of the Bible into English, that 44 years after Wycliffe had died, he ordered the bones to be dug-up, crushed, and scattered in the river!
That catholic love goes back a long time!
