<P> In Catholic England, the only Bible available was written in Latin Vulgate, a translation of proper Latin considered holy by the Roman Catholic Church . As a result, only clergy had access to copies of the Bible . Countrymen were dependent on their local priests for the reading of scripture because they could not read the text for themselves . Early in the Reformation, one of the fundamental disagreements between the Roman Church and Protestant leaders was over the distribution of the Bible in the people's common language . </P> <P> John Wycliffe helped make the Bible available to all people, regardless of their wealth or social standing . Wycliffe translated the whole Bible into the English language because he believed that Englishmen needed to be familiar with the scriptures on their own terms in order to know Jesus Christ . </P> <P> In 1526, William Tyndale published the first complete Bible in print . This facilitated distribution at a lower cost, and soon the Bible was not only readable to English citizens, but also affordable for most people . Once the common people had access to the Bible, many more joined the Protestant Church . The revolutionary growth in biblical reading was a notable event of the Reformation, and England was one of the first countries where this occurred . Soon, England's foundational convictions were changing, and new Protestant doctrines were emerging that challenged the Roman Catholic Church . </P> <P> Leading reformers and philosophers of the time, such as Wycliffe, helped establish these doctrines by preaching to large groups of people . Wycliffe, among others, opposed the Catholic belief of transubstantiation . Catholics believe that when they participate in the Eucharist, the bread and wine transform into the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ when the priest prays over it . All Protestant leaders rejected this belief as false . </P>
