“Name just one person killed by any Catholic Church for producing an English language bible. One will do.”
William Tyndale. He was the first person to produce an English langauge Bible translated directly from Hebrew and Greek texts. He did this work in Worms and brought the Bibles to England. For this Cardinal Wolsey condemned him as a heretic and demanded his arrest. He was betrayed in Germnay, tried and suffered martyrdom at the stake.

Applause. Let us now examine the good burgher Tyndale’s fate. He wrote a bad translation even though a Catholic priest, and against Church orders. He published it. And ran. Now, who had him arrested and executed? King Henry VIII. After he overthrew the Church in England. No Catholic apologist, he.
For extra bonus points, why don’t you tell us why the anti Catholic Henry had Tyndale executed in Belgium?
