ROTFLMAO!

Is that horse presenting evidence for something?

There's generally no Bible in a Catholic Church.

Interesting statement.

My church is set up to enter the 'gathering area' or small hall and then enter the church itself through internal double doors. On the table just outside the doors is a family sized St. Joseph edition leatherbound (impressive - I bought one - from the church), as well as a pile of softcover NAB and Jerusalem Bibles. There might even be a D-R Challoner or two, I forget.

I carry the NAB on a variety of electronic devices and have for many years carried the D-R going back to the early Palm Pilots. I go online for the NAB RE including usually when I respond with Bible quotes here or elsewhere.

Spunkets, you may have gotten an outlier on the data chart.

The parish where I grew up (heavily Irish and Italian) probably had enough Bibles in the entranceways to supply every family that attended.

Let us not be contentious in our journey towards God.
