Sorry, but i think its the other way around, i believe the roman church kept the scriptures a secret from the majority of the people and every thing was just hear say.
in the 1500 years before the invention of the printiung press, bibles were hand written by Catholic monks and therefore very expensive. The church was not keeping bibles from anyone. First of all, very few people could read and if they could, they could only read their language. The Catholics did not interpret the bible to suit their needs, they wrote it and it was in the 1500’s that the protestant revolters decided to eliminate entire books which had been there from the beginning.
Read Cor 11 and compare verse,s 4,5,6,7 of the K.J.V to any of the new versions and then read the summation in verses 13, 14, and 15.
any one can see that the K.J.V is the only one that does not contradict itself.

you can’t do that.....you print a version of the bible one thousand five hundred years from the original and expect the original version to comply with your new interpretation.....how does that work?????if the KJV does not agree in every way with the original bible, then the KJV is WRONG....why did the protestants, in the 1500’s decide to remove books from the bible and change various passages in it????..why did Martin Luther et al decide that they could write a better version of the bible than could those who lived it.....amazing.....by the way, because he drew millions of people from the true church, Luther is responsible for the loss of more souls than anyone else in history..IMHO
