"Interesting they didn't try to ban reading and writing and 'rithmetic (not to mention philosophy etc) entirely ... if your premise is right" It is not merely my premise, it is history. They controlled all those things until the late middle ages when they allowed "science" as a branch of "philosophy" (read--THEOLOGY).
