@deadheat @matrix most people simply were illiterate at the time

@hakui
Depends on when. People in middle ages were mostly literate, they just didn't know latin.
@deadheat

@matrix @deadheat that's illiterate all right

@hakui @deadheat No

@matrix @deadheat yeah they can't read latin

@hakui @deadheat They could read and write in their own language.

@matrix @deadheat but not latin

@hakui @deadheat And?

@matrix @deadheat so they were illiterate for latin

@hakui @deadheat In latin yes

@matrix @deadheat yes

@deadheat
Translations were allowed, but non catholic church approved weren't.

@matrix Sounds reasonable, since the church was the institution trusted with the responsability of protecting and preserving the bible.

It's another one of those weird, typical dumb leftist notions about the history of the Church. The Catholic Church organized this collection of books that makes the bible, they were the ones who chose what is there, but they didn't want people to know what was in there so they could lie about the content? Of the book they organized themselves? Have these degenerate atheists considered that if the church wanted to be this tyrannical institution ruling the world, the bible would have been a collection of books made to promote this goal, and they would want everyone to read their propaganda book as often as possible? It's so stupid.
