A couple of coworkers were discussing the "savagery of muslim terrorist" and how some of these people kill others just because of their belief.  After listening for a short time, I asked whats the difference when Protestants and Catholics killed not only each others for periods of time, but also killed and conquered non believers.  They both looked at me as if faced with a complicated complex question, provided no response but quickly changed the subject.  Interesting.

It is more than interesting once you can SEE.

The Douay–Rheims Bible (pronounced /ˌduːeɪ/ or/ˌdaʊ.eɪ ˈriːmz/^[1]) (also known as the Rheims–Douai Bible or Douai Bible, and abbreviated as D–R and DV) is a translation of the Bible from the LatinVulgate into English made by members of the English College, Douai, in the service of the Catholic Church.^[2] The New Testament portion was published in Reims, France, in 1582, in one volume with extensive commentary and notes. The Old Testamentportion was published in two volumes thirty years later by theUniversity of Douai. The first volume, covering Genesis throughJob, was published in 1609; the second, covering Psalms to 2 Machabees plus the apocrypha of the Clementine Vulgate was published in 1610. Marginal notes took up the bulk of the volumes and had a strong polemical and patristic character. They offered insights on issues of translation, and on the Hebrew and Greeksource texts of the Vulgate.

The purpose of the version, both the text and notes, was to uphold Catholic tradition in the face of the Protestant Reformation which up till then had overwhelmingly dominated Elizabethan religion and academic debate. As such it was an impressive effort by English Catholics to support the Counter-Reformation. The New Testament was reprinted in 1600, 1621 and 1633. The Old Testament volumes were reprinted in 1635 but neither thereafter for another hundred years. In 1589, William Fulke produced a refutation of the Rheims New Testament, setting out the complete Rheims text and notes in parallel columns with those of the Bishops' Bible. This work sold widely in England, being re-issued in three further editions to 1633. It was predominantly through Fulke's editions that the Rheims New Testament came to exercise a significant influence on the development of 17th century English.^[3]

This is the main reason why there has been such an adamant effort, in the usa. to keep people from learning how to read.  If it ever happens (if folks learn to read), a real awakening may take place.

So if I am understanding, if one learns to read or become lettered, they may not be in need of a leader or pastor or some authority to TELL them what something is?
