and chained to the pulpits of many churches. Before this, the Bible was not allowed to be read by the common people under the Catholic Church, so, to "stick it to" the Catholic Church, King Henry started the Church of England and said this Great Bible would be available to anybody, (though most were illiterate and would have to had it read to them)
