Go to a protestant service. People take off their coats as an indication they intend to stay and pay some attention . See them sit with the bibles open to the passages to see if they are being taught in context and quoted correctly. To study means to concentrate on, investigate, discuss and look at other scriptures to see if it is correctly being applied.

So this is true of every Protestant?

By contrast with Catholics: That is not a STUDY that is a TEACHING that requires nothing more of the hearers than to swallow what is taught whole and without thinking or discernment.

So we Catholics across the board have no faculties of discernment or understanding because we just sit and listen?

Therefore, we must be mind-numbed robots. How do you know what goes on in the mind and heart of every Catholic?

I assume then after church you all go home and open your bibles to see the context of the read scriptures and cross reference it with other old and new Testament verses . Not to do so of course would be being a mind numbed robot
