Yes they were, sadly like many on this site they chose to separate themselves from the truth of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church, Like Jesus does not hate people, just the sins they commit.
Now please address the points I made about the Gutenberg Bible.
Seems you're confused... I mentioned Gutenberg and his press; nothing about a "Catholic" Bible. Is that a Straw Man I see! Tsk, tsk....
But here's something about Roman Catholic views on the use of the printing press:
Censorship
The Catholic Church quickly realized the potential of the printing press as a challenge to its influence. Censorship was introduced into the print shop in 1487, when Pope Innocent VIII required that Church authorities approve all books before publication. The Church had censored books for centuries, though it became much more difficult to do so after the invention of printing. Controlling a dozen painfully copied manuscripts of a forbidden text may have been a manageable task, but controlling the thousands of copies churning off the presses every year was quite another matter. One of these forbidden texts was the Bible printed in any other language than Latin.
Emphasis mine

And, by the way, the Roman Catholic Church IS people, not some mystical confabulation....granted, people who art believing an error, but people. As for Tyndale, Wycliffe, and Luther, they did indeed separate themselves... they separated themselves FROM the error of the Roman Catholic Church.
Happy New Year!

Please address why the rcc didn’t get the Word into the native languages. The burden is on the catholic to explain why they didn’t.
