Catholics should learn from Luther, Pope says in new interview

“Luther took a great step in putting the Word of God into the hands of the people.”
The ignorance of Pope Francis is all too often displayed, as in that distortion.
In reality, Johann Gutenberg, a Catholic, produced the first printed Bible, with the Church’s approval, in 1455. Luther was not born until 1483. There were 18 German editions of the whole Bible before the Catholic monk Luther posted his 95 theses in 1517, and there were German, Flemish, Italian, Spanish, and Polish editions before Luther left the Church. The first English edition appeared in 1525. James I in England authorised the “King James” version only in 1604.
