Despite the prevalence of the Bible translated into the vernacular the Christian faith continues to decline ... Having the Bible in the hands of the people did not make them more Christian as a nation, or at least not sustainably. This experiment already occurred in Europe so that it is not a recent generation or two. 54 posted on 2/21/2018, 6:27:31 AM by af_vet_1981 (The bus came by and I got on, That's when it all began.)

Which is a false an argument against the availability and esteem of Scripture as would be asserting that Christ being available in His own country did not effect much change. Yet in both cases great change is effected when the power is available and received as being what it claims to be. Thus it remains that you have no argument except one of absurdity.
... that the mere availability of the Bible is not enough to preserve society, which is not in debate ... So, absent the noise it seems to me you agree with the point ..
So, absent the noise it seems to me you agree with me that you have no argument except one of absurdity. Either argue that the availability and esteem of Scripture correlates to moral decline among those who hold to it as the wholly inspired and accurate word of God, in contrast to the overall fruit of Catholicism, or admit it does not. Or at least just stop posting foolishness.
