in days of yore....the clergy lived with a separate set of rules...and they literally could get away with murder if they killed someone NOT in the clergy. In those days the only people that could read were the clergy...they were able to read the Bible. Everyone else were illiterate....to get out of crimes such as murder....a clergyman would read from the bible to prove he was ABOVE the law. THEY interpreted the Bible to the people.... People that couldn't read were obviously NOT a member of the church (this is why we wear robes and mortarboards in colleges to this day)....Eventually the "Protestants" rebelled against that and believed everyone should be able to read for themselves....
