Absolutely. More than any other denomination.

... and yet there are "traditional" websites that cite we have increased the Sriptural readings in the Pauline Mass as evidence the Mass has been "protestantised."

I don't think so. The Presbyterian church where I have a job (literal paying one) uses two scripture readings. And a Gospel is not always one of them. The Episcopalians use four readings, but not all the rest. Some, but not all. So much of the rest of Mass is from scripture.

Dear Catholicguy,

"and yet there are 'traditional' websites that cite we have increased the Sriptural readings in the Pauline Mass as evidence the Mass has been 'protestantised.'"

Yeah, I noticed that on the link you gave last night.

What little I know of non-sacramental Protestant churches is that usually, the amount of Scripture at a service is somewhat modest. The featured event of the service is the sermon, given by the minister, explicating on the Scripture.
