...yes, in a way. Because the first ones to protest and break away from the pope were mostly illiterate monks who felt the need to rebel...and they distrusted books and libraries because those had been used by the popes to maintain their power...to the rebels against the pope just "knowing" the "truth" as THEY felt it, regardless what books and doctos and educated people said, was a mark of their enlightenment...they were beyond books and libraries and as the Protestants said, any farmer or peasant who was possessed of the "truth", as HE defined it, was closer to God and the ultimate truths than all the doctors of the Church put together...Protestantism empowered the ignorant...now they wouldn't NEED expensive books and manuscripts..they wouldn't need to speak five languages or spend years and years in serious study...even if we say now that most of what the educated of that day believed was nonsense...at least it was the most EDUCATED nonsense of its day...but Protestants, and that's all Minime and Jumblat really are, felt PROUD that they had absolutely no education at all...and even made fun or it and scorned it...so, you see, in a way being ignorant and PROUDLY stupid was something positive...and they've stayed that way...they still believe it...they still pride themselves in knowing next to nothing because they believe that's how they found the BIG "triths".
