I ride to work with an Evangelical and he reads out loud while we go to work at 4am. I have a Roomate that is Jewish and converted and he quotes all day Long...
I give him the catholic take and tell him about the Liturgical Calendar Like Pentecost sunday and last Sunday being Trinity Sunday....
I even explained to Him St Faustina and Christ declaring Divine mercy Sunday! the Sunday after Easter! Thats Christ speaking about HIS Church....to St faustina in the 1930’s
Thats the reward we get as Catholics we can draw off of so many Saints of the church as a Matter of fact the Liturgy combines that with scripture every day!
GOD Bless!
There’s nothing wrong with studying history, and if you’re that interested in Scripture, why don’t you read it for yourself. You’re a smart person; you’re certainly capable of understanding what you read.
Why is it that your church is okay with its members reading and decyphering its liturgy, canons and other tomes, but when it comes to the Bible... you guys are considered complete dolts, incapable of comprehending it? When I bought my car I made sure I understood the contract. I took great care to read through every (tedious) word of it to make sure to understand my rights and obligations. I certainly wouldn’t have signed the document without reading and understanding. And if the salesman tried to get me to ignore the contract and sign my name, I would have walked out. Shouldn’t we be even more diligent with our eternal souls?
