Cracks me up when folks contend Catholic’s unfamiliarity with the Bible.

Each Mass has a reading from the Old Testament, one from the New, and a Gospel.

Citing chapter and verse is a parlor game, having little to do with the knowledge of the Bible.

Yes! It's true. Catholics are fed Holy Scripture [along with the Body of Christ] on Sundays, and daily too! The homily then reflects the readings. Here is a photograph of our Weekday Missal, well worn, which is the condition of many a missal one will see at daily Mass. This is Volume 1; Volume 2 (which we are currently using) is out in the car, which we will be perusing in a few hours. :)

And to be reminded (of the readings) throughout the day, I go to Salvation's "daily" threads of Catholic Readings that she provides, along with a plethora of other Good information -- (here is yesterday's; today's will be shortly forthcoming): http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3081884/posts

Thank you, Salvation, for all that you do!
