I have met precious few Catholics in my life that read the Bible on thier own.

And to be fair, there are plenty of PRotestants and Evangelicals who don’t read Scripture all that diligently, although in every non-Catholic church I’ve attended it’s always encouraged.

But the point is, the RCC is not superior simply because a greater number of verses is read at a mass than might be in a non- Catholic service.

Nor does it really mean that Catholics get more Scripture cause based on church attendance by most Catholics, they are losing out big time.

Weddings, funerals, Christmas and Easter does not cut it.

I didn’t know that we were debating whether Catholics are superior. We are all sinners, every one. My point was that Catholics, even if they don’t read the Bible at home, hear it at the Mass. And most of the Catholics I know do read the Bible but I probably know more Catholics who are active in their parish.

As to superiority, I want be close to Jesus. The closer I am to Him the more humble I need to be. I seek the little way.
