But now that I look back at my 6 years of Catholic school, I do find it odd that we never "Studied the Bible". And if I'm not mistaken, some Protistants have a real problem with that...? (Which makes sense...But then again, I don't know WHY Catholics don't study the bible like other religions do).

What 6 years did you attend? I went for 12 years, from first through 8th grade we had religion class daily, talked about the Bible, focusing on the New Testament. They handed out books called "The Good News" -- when we hit highschool we studied the Bible indepth, book by book for 4 years, plus additional religious instruction. I'm so sick of hearing, "those dang catholics never read the Bible" Plus the fact we read the Bible at every Mass. Whatever.

First 6 years.

And I must confess...I didn't really care for it. Coming from a family that didn't practice, I wasn't really pressed to take much of a real active interest.

But no...We didn't have any bibles for any kind of bible study. Of course they were available, all over. Just not "Studied" like I've seen other religions do.

But then again, maybe that's common for the first 6 years?
