You’d think so, going to what is claimed to be a Christian church. But, thank Christ Jesus, she first heard it from my cousin, while she was dying. Imagine that. She thought that going through the motions of a sacramental system was enough, and she thought that is what was taught to her throughout her decades in the RCC.
If she didn’t hear it, she wasn’t listening....if this story is true at all.

Helen Keller? Did your cousin restore her hearing on her deathbed?
The Gospel is read, verbatim from the New Testament, at every Mass.
Is your definition of "the Gospel" the verbatim text of the New Testament or is your definition of "the Gospel" the words your cousin?
"A reading from the Gospel, according to Ottofire's cousin: Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Buttonwillow, about seven miles from Bakersfield, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Ottofire himself came near and went with them ........"
