Rome's Policy Towards the Bible or Papal Efforts to Suppress the Scriptures

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. From the days of Wiclifi', A. D. 1380, to the year 1844, the Church of Rome has pursued but one line of policy towards the Bible the same which she must follow, with unfaltering step, until God's judgments consign her to the doom for which she is ripening. She has forbidden the nations to read God's word she has destroyed thousands and tens of thousands of copies of the Holy Scriptures in the flames, and she has hurried to the dungeon, the gibbet, and the stake, all whom she ever dared to punish for listening to God's commands, rather than to her impious traditions. The Bible is the great obstacle to Papal supremacy. The question must soon be decided here - whether the efforts to destroy this strong tower of defence shall prosper, or cover its authors and abettors with shame and everlasting contempt.
