A sweeping generalization will almost always turn up exceptions, and if you are one of those exceptions I apologize for lumping you in.

It would be disingenuous for you to have the world believe that more than a small percentage of RCC laity actually read the Bible for themselves. They are not taught such. They are taught the catechism, and gather their knowledge of spiritual things at mass on Sunday and the occasional HDOO (holy day of obligation). While certain Scriptures are recited at mass, it is not studied there. Furthermore, there is little opportunity for, and small participation in (percentage-wise) actual study of Scripture.

Pointing out the specific belief often gets one zotted.

Let's see I'm making "sweeping generalizations" and you are doing what?

It most certainly is studied through the homily.

I didn't read your post clearly, my husband had just walked in for lunch.

So, I take it you believe in sweeping generalizations and for a few minutes I just thought you were being pretty hypocritical.

I don't live my life or beliefs on sweeping generalization, and I don't think God does either, He KNOWS the heart of all of His faithful and I really don't believe you do.

this is the Part about reading the Bible every day!I do.. so why do you keep saying I don’t!

it is really sad however when you lose the reading of Books by Catholic Saints.. who have loved the Bible and gave us insights into the Bible Like the Old Testament being full filled in the New.. or Explain Hell or Purgatory or our Souls in depth or experiences or Show us in the Bible the levels of heaven...

People who think they are born again and gain entry into heaven automatically like My carmate Really are reading the Bible just ommitting the Part about Sin... and what Happens..as a result of it ...Hell is real...and you suffer the consequences of your unfullfilled life on Earth.

It Irks me when Catholic Politicians who claim they are special because they were Altar Boys growing up or went to catholic Schools like it Gave you some special dispensation into heaven..it doesn’t, GOD expects more from a catholic because we were raised in CHRISTS OWN CHURCH

I am Glad God gives us Novena’s and Litanies he passed down through our Saints.. June Being the Month of the sacred Heart of Jesus... passed Through St Mary Alconque

I am on Fire with My FAITH and when people Insinuate that just the BIBLE and just them talking to GOD is enough I hope it is for their Sake!

When they mock me it’s ok..when they Mock Jesus church I will defend it!
