Good subject; look forward to more. We have been studying the apostasy of the Church on Wednesday nights.

Read the histories of Wycliff and Tyndale; you will find that they were declared heretics for trying to translate the Bible into English so that "commoners" would have access to the scriptures. I believe that Tyndale was burned at the stake.
