Historically, the RCC has not been kind in its sharing of the
scriptures with laity.  It's organized bible burnings have been
recorded and often time noted.

I think the major mistake in this accussion is that it fails to
distinquish American RCism from that practiced in the rest of the
world, esp in 3rd world or Latin American countries.  All one has to do
is research a bit and it is quite appauling how the RCC has handled the
scriptures.
