Thank you for your kind reply. I have done a modest amount of research on these topics, being a former altar boy, Irish RC.

A RC priest in Berlin Germany lead me to Christ when I was serving as an Altar boy and we were stationed there. He was a Godly old German man that spoke very good english.

He said, "Young man, you can go to Jesus for all of your needs. Never forget that."

Being an Altar boy doesn't make me an expert on the RC, but my parents are still Catholic and I am familiar with where the church has fallen short in so many areas of their lives. Scripture knowledge, being the greatest.

Scripture knowledge, being the greatest.

Knowledge of Scripture is a good thing, but it doesn't save anyone unless it's put into action.

Why put the blame on the Church for your parents' failure to educate themselves? The information is out there. All you have to do is pick up a phone or log on to a website and order it.
