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.

Who was she?

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?

Not a single RC has remotely even addressed my point shooting the assertions about the Gospel read at every mass out of the water in terms of this and similar cases.

That the Gospel is read is largely a moot point. Has little to do with the problem.
