Not in mine either bro. I don't know why they didn't want us to read the Bible. Maybe they thought they would lose control over us if we did. Reading the Bible can result in a person acquiring a certain amount of independent thought. We can't have that now, can we? It also can result in a person getting saved, and freely choosing to commit the sin of presumption. You know, that awful, horrible sin of having assurance of salvation. We can't have that now, can we?
Keep up the good work bro. I am doing my part, conducting Bible study for my Catholic friends. Yes, I actually DO have Catholic friends. Maybe some people don't, but I do. 😀😆😃😄
Precisely WHY the Dark Age was called The Dark Age ...
Mankind was spiritually dark because of the Roman Catholic stranglehold on spiritual matters because of mass uneducated ignorance
Few people could actually read, so few were knowledgeable
Priests had a powerful grip on how mankind could/would be manipulated
Think Friar Tuck of Robin Hood legend
All cults are like this.
Mere humans are so inept that they MUST 'understand' the bible by what the Organization or Man (or Woman) says about it.
