"You should FReepmail...

Open is good.

"details of this incident or detract."

What I said is the truth.

"I argue against Catholicism on a theological/Biblical basis and nothing else. They are fine people."

Irrelevant. There is no Bible present at their Mass. Lecitonaries are not Bibles and they don't resemble Bibles.

Alrighty then. We shall await with bated breath for all of the damning details to come out.

[verga]

What I said is the truth.

Not even close tot he truth. As Bob said just waiting for the details to come out. I am betting they will be as much whole cloth and your original claim.

Some Protestants and their Bible worship makes me laugh. It's more than paper pages with ink words. It's the Word of God and proclaimed in every Holy Mass.

We really don't need it like this..

to get the full effect.

In fact, I would dare say that any kid in Awana can spout the words from cards given to them by their leaders. They don't need the "book". And if anyone needs to hold a bible like a talisman, you're doing it wrong. It's the Word of God. If it's in your heart, you don't need it sitting in front of you moment to moment.

Quite incorrect.

Well, gee, spunkets....MY church has a Bible in it. It’s on a stand right there in the sanctuary, next to the book people use to write their intentions. It is not chained down or locked up; anybody can read it anytime.

There’s one in the chapel, too, BTW.

Actually, here in Baltimore MD, at the Cathedral of Mary our Queen there are copies of the Bible in virtually every pew. Admittedly though, that is rare to find Bibles in Catholic church pews.

Most of the Mass is taken right from Scripture though; I always find it a bit ironic when someone complains there aren’t Bibles in Catholic churches, given that fact.

Besides, the main purpose of Mass isn’t to read the Bible, unlike in Protestant/non-Catholic Christian services. The main purpose, or really focus of the Mass is the Eucharist.

Which is what makes ad-libbing the words of Consecration so dangerous.
