During the Middle Ages, did the Catholic Church manifest hostility to the Bible, asher adversaries claim?
Under stress of special circumstances, various regulations weremade by the Church to protect the people from being spiritually poisoned by the corruptedand distorted translations of the Bible; hence opposition to the Waldensians, Albigensians,Wycliff and Tyndale. Comment: Individual churchmen may at times have gone too far in their zeal, not tobelittle the Bible, but to protect it. There is no human agency in which authority is alwaysexercised blamelessly.
