"What! All of the scriptures read at Mass come from the Bible."

Nevertheless, a Bible is not normally present at a Mass. Also, not all of scripture is read at Mass.

"The priest also blesses the congregation with the Bible."

The priest may do so, if he makes sure someone brings a Bible for that purpose.

As freeper dangus pointed out, there is ALWAYS a Bible in a Catholic Church during Mass. The Catholic Church compiled the Bible!

When you say "not all of scripture is read at Mass", are you suggesting that other churches read the entire bible during their service from Genesis to Revelation? How long does that take?

The priest may do so, if he makes sure someone brings a Bible for that purpose.

He blesses the congregation with the Bible from which he has just read the Gospel!

Are your statements based on experience or hearsay?
