Why should it be any business of yours how another person worships God?

You know I hear Protestants say all the time that Catholics do not read the Bible, but if I go to Mass everyday for three years I will hear the entire Bible.

Did you know that?

Now just because I do not take my Bible to Church with me and underline passages does not mean that my knowledge and love for the Bible is somehow deficient.

My better half joined the Church when our daughter was 3 years old. Around the same time we went to a friend's house for dinner and afterwards we played Bible Trivia.

Guess who won? The Baptists who invited us or the one cradle Catholic and the new convert?

We won hands down. Our friends were flummoxed to say the least.

How could that be when Catholics "never read the Bible"?

Please don't be rude and assume that just because I refer to my knowledge and love for Jesus in a certain term that it is somehow stupid.

Because I assure you that it isn't.

I certainly don't intend to be rude. I can't think of a prettier way to point out something that I think is wrong. The Lord was often blunt when pointing out things that were wrong too so it's not sinful to be blunt. If I were to point out to a sodomite that God hates sodomy and destroyed a whole city with fire and brimstone over it, it wouldn't be rude.

If you love the bible, how do you feel about Mormons? I have 8 kids, one married and divorced a Catholic and one is currently married to a Catholic. Neither Catholic was very interested in the bible or going to mass. Now one of my kid in very very interested in a Mormon girl. Are you aware of how Mormons handle the bible?

When I back up a few steps from doctrinal disputes I think of those wretched orc's known as Muslims and I consider how happily they would cut off my head, your head and any Mormon's head for their testimony of Jesus Christ. They wouldn't care at all about any of the details we debate.

Praise the Lord for every moment of your life that you have spent reading the bible and believing.
