Until I stopped going to Catholic Church, I never read a Bible, nor was encouraged to read a Bible, not by the Priest and not by the Catechism class I used to take (that was what it was called at the time).
Same here, we had a huge Catholic Bible stored in a cubby of our china cabinet. It was never taken out or used.
We had the two readings from Scripture and one reading from the Gospels each week. I’ve seen claims by Catholics on FR that the entire Bible is covered in three years. I’ve posted passages that I’d never heard in my 20 years attending Mass. None of them bothered to respond.
To be quite honest, when I sat down and read God’s word I became really angry. I can forgive someone for being misguided. To be willfully ignorant while misleading others is an entirely different situation!
I don’t even know if we had a Bible...it’s possible, but I don’t remember ever seeing one (not until after I started attending another church). It’s troubling that those who know so much of the Scriptures do not with it feed the sheep. Reminds me of the Pharisees, they had all this knowledge but with them they used it against their flock.
Man is evil and there is no good thing in him (without Christ).
Don't believe me. Go check it out yourself. No one will know that you are no longer Catholic.
In fact quit believing what you read here, including me. Do your own research.
