The whole "so they couldn't read it themselves" is blatant anti-Catholic bs. A single bible would take years to produce, and cost the equivalent of a house today. They were chained to keep them safe from theft.
Wrong. The Protestant Reformation wasn't organic. Luther and Calvin BOTH had (((backers))), and it was in many ways a power (and gold) grab. Heretical movements have been fomented by antichristian enemies for millenia. And sadly, the susceptible took the bait. Now they have lie and cope, like you're doing.
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Jesus gave Peter the keys to heaven and earth, changed his name from Simon to Petros (which means rock), then proceeded to say on this rock He would build His Church. Then at the end of John, Jesus foretells Peter's future, which involves him being in a leadership role, and throughout Acts the apostles all look to Peter as leader.

If what you said was true there would be no Protestants.
Catholics are pagans who perverted Christianity in order to control people.

Well, at least we see their fruits now.
Pure projection about lying and coping.
There is no evidence in the Bible that supports the papacy.
You can’t present any logical reasoning so you jump to fallacious attacks on character and projections.

Protestantism only took place after the invention of the printing press.
