**And the honest Catholic would admit that the average "Baptist" knows more Scripture than the average "Catholic".**

Definitely.

**The honest Catholic would not pretend they learn Scripture from a pre-programmed three year cycle which partially covers Scripture.**

This is not what I meant -- you are putting words into my mouth and that is unsanitary. Catholics also have Bible Study and I dare say you are going to have to cut back on your criticism for we are growing in the area of adult formation.

I was in the process of replying to you and making the point that Catholics are, more and more, studying Scripture. My phone rang, I picked up the phone, and before I could save my reply my "blankety blank "Emerson Switchboard" disconnected me. I lost all my carefully crafted answer.

Actually, I was putting words into IMRight's mouth and he knew I was talking to him.

Your reply baffled me so much I just gave up trying to determine exactly what you were saying.

Yes, there is more Catholic Bible Study than there was in my day. Of course in my day there was none. We were actively discouraged from reading the Bible because we could become "confused". You know the old story "Mother knows best". I don't know how much and how far the RCC will go with this Bible Study program. Time will tell.

Definitely.

And if I may add, I definitely benefit from Scripture at home and mass. Definitely, it matters not how many Biblical verses I can memorize and recite for are there not, and have there not lived, illiterate holy Christians? Our Lord said so many times, to so many types of people, "Follow me"... we have to DO!
