Has anyone some citations for Protestants burning Catholic Bibles?

Interesting.
Would you be willing to settle for a good citation of a Protestant burning another Protestant ?

“Later Calvin had Michael Servetus himself burned at the stake for being a Unitarian. (20)”

Anyway, here are some more quotes:

"In England Between the winter of 1537 and April 10,1540 over 318 Catholic monasteries and convents were destroyed including there vast libraries of religious texts encompassing many rare and old hand copied Catholic bibles (both ancient Greek and Latin) by the Protestant king of England Henry VIII (13)

The Anglicans in the English controlled sections of Ireland took the destruction of monasteries, churches, church libraries and schools to a new level, It became a passion. In 1544 Immense

amounts of ancient books and Vulgate Bibles were maliciously destroyed in giant bon fires. In an effort to reduce the Catholic Irish to ignorance Henry VIII decreed that in Ireland even the possession of a manuscript any subject whatsoever (including sacred Scripture) incurred the death Penalty.(14). On January 5, 1541 by order of the king a English printer named Grafton was arrested and imprisoned for printing the Matthew and Great Bibles to which he had exclusive printing rights.(15) King Henry VIII held a great official burning of to “heretical” books in 1546, The Protestant Bibles of Tyndale, Coverdale and Matthew and the Catholic Latin Vulgate helped feed the fires (16)

In 1582 The Rheims Catholic New Testament in English was issued Needless to say, the appearance of this New Testament, with its annotations, at once aroused the fiercest opposition. Queen Elizabeth ordered the searches to seek out and confiscate and destroy every copy they could find. If a priest was found in possession of it, he was forthwith imprisoned. Torture by rack was applied to those who circulated it. (17) so strong indeed was the feeling–nay, the dread aroused by the The Rheims New Testament …

“ … a blasphemous and distorted translation as came from the contemptible ex-Catholic pen of Tyndale. His translation was ordered to be destroyed, not because it appeared in the English language, as you assume, but because it was a faulty, corrupted translation, which was a deliberate profanation of the Sacred Text. Does this action make the Church anti-Bible? First if the Church truly wanted to destroy the Bible, why did her monks work diligently through the centuries making copies of it? …

Sigh. It’s incredible that this patent fact still needs hammering into heads 400+ years later… Still we must keep trying, with humility and patience. Remember in the Screwtape Letters, the senior devil writes, “Funny how the humans think we spend our time putting ideas into their heads, when we spend most of our time keeping ideas out…”

 

[Church_Militant]

Here’s a link to Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical. Search it yourself. The line they offer as a quote is not in there anywhere .
Leo XIII - Providentissimus Deus

We’ve discussed theCouncil of Toulouse - Catholic Answers Forums

Trent was correct to condemn private interpretation of scripture and all you have to do is look at it’s fruits to see that it’s not of the Holy Spirit because 1st Corinthians 14:33 tells us that God is not a God confusion or discord, which perfectly describes that fruit.

Again, here’s the only document from Pius VIII and again, their "quote is nowhere in there. Traditi Humilitati (On His Program for His Pontificate) May 24, 1829

Same with Leo XII Ubi Primum (On His Assuming the Pontificate) May 5, 1824

Same again with Gregory XVI Inter Praecipuas (On Biblical Societies) May 8, 1844

Pius IX didn’t say that either. Qui Pluribus (On Faith and Religion) November 9, 1846

So their source is specious and grossly misinforming people. Post 'em these links to the documents and let them see they’ve been bambooozled.

 

[JohnR77]

Thanks Church Militant. Good job.

Here is another quote from:

Where We Got the Bible Graham
by The Right Rev. Henry G. Graham, Chapter X. Where then are all the Medieval Bibles?, Section 2

I mean the deliberate destruction of the books and manuscripts so as to get the gold and silver and precious stones in which they were set and bound. I have spoken before of the costliness of the cases and ornaments that surrounded the copies of the Scriptures. …

Thousands of monasteries and libraries were rifled, an incalculable amount of ancient and precious books and parchments burned or otherwise destroyed, and their gold and silver settings turned into hard cash. For the Word of God they cared nothing; what they wanted was money. …

The Protestant historian, Collier, tells how Henry VIII, determined to ‘purge his library’ of all Popish and superstitious books, and consequently gave orders for the destruction of such things as ‘missals, legends, and suchlike’; but notice the next point of command—‘to deliver the garniture of the books, being either silver or gold, to his officers’. That was the real motive; avarice, cupidity, greed of gold. The books thus plundered and stripped of their precious stones were largely Bibles and copies of the Gospels. Fuller says: ‘The Holy Scriptures themselves, much as the Gospellers pretended to regard them, underwent the fate of the rest. If a book had a cross on it, it was condemned for Popery …’

‘Whole libraries,’ exclaims another, ‘were destroyed or made waste paper of, or consumed for the vilest uses … broken windows were patched with remnants of the most valuable MSS. on vellum, and the bakers consumed vast quantities in heating their ovens.’
​

Below is a picture from a 14th century Missal that was given to 19th century Protestant children to be used as scrap. They amused themselves as they cut out the decorated initials.



See Higher Resolution.

This is a Church Dedication. Notice how the drawing seems odd to our culture. It was made when people still believed, the way faithful Catholics still believe today, that the devil really exists. When Catholics take a piece of earth to build and consecrate a Church, a temple, to give glory to God an exorcism is performed. The Devil is cast out and away. See the reddish figure fleeing from above the Church. Exorcisms are also performed at Baptisms.

Screwtape Letters, the senior devil writes, “Funny how the humans think we spend our time putting ideas into their heads, when we spend most of our time keeping ideas out…”

Good quote.

Here are some more quotations from Dave Armstrong.

socrates58.blogspot.com/2007/03/protestant-inquisition-reformation.html

Now, however . . . the Lutherans themselves are . . . forbidding the purchase and reading of the books of their opponents, and of apostate members and sects.’
(Janssen, XIV, 506-507)

The Protestant princes . . . loved and encouraged the censorship because, with its help, they could suppress the well-merited complaint against their robbery of Church property, or other self-interested deeds, or even criminal acts.
(Janssen, XIV, 507)

Violation of the orders of the censorship was everywhere to be severely punished.
(Janssen, XIV, 234)

1. Luther Suppresses Catholic Bibles (!)

Janssen writes of a hypocritical instance of Luther’s censorship (1529):
Luther . . . set his pen in motion concerning this Catholic translation of the Bible. ‘The freedom of the Word,’ which he claimed for himself, was not to be accorded to his opponent Emser . . . When . . . he learnt that Emser’s translation . . . was to be printed . . . at Rostock, he not only appealed himself to his follower, Duke Henry of Mecklenburg, with the request that ‘for the glory of the evangel of Christ and the salvation of all souls’ he would put a stop to this printing, but he also worked on the councillors of the Elector of Saxony to support his action. He denied the right and the power of the Catholic authorities to inhibit his books; on the other hand he invoked the arm of the secular authorities against all writings that were displeasing to him.
(Janssen, XIV, 503-504)

1. Luther and Melanchthon Suppress Swiss and Anabaptist Books

When the controversy on the Lord’s Supper was started at Wittenberg, the utmost precautions were taken to suppress the writings of the Swiss Reformed theologians and of the German preachers who shared the latter’s views. At the instigation of Luther and Melanchthon there was issued, in 1528, by the Elector John of Saxony, an edict to the following effect:

Books and pamphlets (of the Anabaptists, Sacramentarians, etc.) must not be allowed to be bought or sold or read . . . also those who are aware of such breaches of the orders laid down herein, and do not give information, shall be punished by loss of life and property.
(Janssen, XIV, 232-233; BR, IV, 549)

Melanchthon demanded in the most severe and comprehensive manner the censure and suppression of all books that were hindering to Lutheran teaching. …
(Janssen, XIV, 504; cf. Durant, 424)

Many thanks again. It’s obvious, really, that both sides of the battle would be burning each other’s books, and for almost identical motives; but it’s very useful to have some chapter and verse.

This was sent via facebook, FYI. I think my Protestant friends would not object to burning the NIV after reading this…
