I don't understand the "nope." It is indeed true that the Protestants made the Bible available to the common person in the common language, thanks to the printing press (which had been around for a long time). The Church of Rome was not engaged in such evangelism. Since they were not offering Bibles to the laity, the default was to keep them within the church. Or, where are all the copies of popular Bibles printed in Latin?
And it is a fact that the Geneva Bible, produced by Protestants and printed in large quantities, included the Apocrypha (but not as Holy Writ). I have a copy and have read it (though the Apocrypha are still on my list, because they are available in digital form, not printed form).
Your URLs are largely beside the points at issue.
Are you kidding? Jesuits had been traveling the world educating people in the ways of the Bible for a long time before Protestantism.
Ugh. The ignorance is astounding. Do you even bother to look into these things before you write?
I'm sorry. You just don't want to discuss the point, which was the availability of the Bible, as a bridge to the inclusion of the Apocrypha. If you want to contend that the Jesuits were evangelical door-to-door salesmen, that may be true and fine, but if the person being "taught" had no Bible to refer to, their grasp of Holy Writ would be poor. Do you have your Bible memorized? I don't and I've read 3 translations, and I don't know Latin and I don't know Greek. This is all for the importance of the Bible being in the common tongue.
No, the point was that the Catholic church was not restricting the Bible to the Priesthood.
You can make whatever point you want. I said Protestants removed books from the Bible and that is true, I also showed you that the Catholic church wasn't being a bunch of meanies and hiding the Bible from the common folk like you were trying to get at.
So, where are all the copies of popular Bibles printed in Latin, used by the laity? You can't seriously expect that lectures from itinerant Jesuits are the same thing as having an actual copy of Holy Writ to refer to. Especially if one wants to question church doctrine from the standpoint of the Bible (which is where Luther began his questions).
And maybe some Protestants removed the Aprocrypha from the Bible, but it was never deemed Holy Writ, and other Protestants included them (e.g., the 1599 Geneva Bible). You are poorly advised to make a blanket accusation.
(I think some of our exchanges have been sent to finishing school or something.)
Who deems anything Holy Writ?
There is zero authority is Protestantism so it doesn't matter if one sect deems it Holy or not.
The standard by which things are measured requires authority and only the Catholic church has a power structure involving authority. The Protestants reject Papal authority which would be the measure by which anything was determiened to be Holy Writ or not.
There is no "deeming things Holy Writ" in Protestantism because none of them recognize authority, instead they recognize personal interpretation.

This video explains exactly why things stayed in Latin.
Latin cannot be changed. The language cannot be manipulated by the Freemasonic NWO, which is exactly what happened.
Look into the Freemasonic ties to Protestantism.
They've been at this game for a long time.
Keeping the Bible in Latin was a defense against the NWO attempts to control and use Christianity.
