John, you continue not only to prove you aren't a Catholic,
but have no religion at all. The Catholic church mass printed
bibles in Latin for every diocese and most priests had to
READ the service since they hadn't been trained in the church
but were members of the royalty for that area. Are you suggesting
the literally hundreds of thousands of Bibles were copied by hand?
Take your "show me proof" and shove it up your ignorant ass.


Perhaps these will help:

"How was the Bible distributed before the printing press was invented
in 1455?"

The work of copying the Scriptures was undertaken in
earnest in the monasteries in the Middle Ages. Several
thousand monasteries were established across Europe,
and for many of the monks making copies of the Scriptures
was their chief task. They became the true guardians of
the text and produced literally thousands of magnificent
Bibles.

The artwork in the early bibles was amazing:
"Vienna Moralized Bible (circa 1220 to 1480) made specifically for the
French royal house."

One of the most striking of Lowden’s codicological findings
is that identical underdrawings in both Bibles were
pressure traced with a stylus and then independently
worked up and provided with accompanying texts.

However, the various Bibles Moralisee were not identical:
...Lowden persuasively asserts that the Bibles Moralisées
were not produced by a process of transmission that
presupposes a single authoritative original and involves
subsequent attempts to reproduce the model without error.
Instead, each version set out to be unlike the others,
in some way intended to surpass its predecessors.

So it is written, so it must be.


Well, certainly there are various "versions" of the Bible and some of
the instructions are a bit different. "Thou shall not kill" in some
versions and "Thou shall not commit murder" in others for instance
