I think people are confusing sale of the Bible with the sin of Simony, which was sale of the sacraments.

Oh, is that what Simony is? I thought it was sitting back in one's chair, folding one's arms and saying, "Well, THAT was absolutely horrible. You know what you remind me of? A saloon singer who's failed and is singing for pennies in the New York subway."
