Have you ever been to a Catholic Mass? It has a huge percentage of the Bible in it. Not just in the three readings each week....Maybe someone isn’t telling you the truth about Catholics.

The OT reading cycle repeats every two years, and in those two years, the daily mass only covers 13.5% of the Old Testament (3378 verses). The NT reading cycle repeats every three years, and in three years' time the daily mass covers 71.5% of the New Testament (5689 verses). Combine the verses and this accounts for just 12.7% of the entire Bible in the weekly mass, and no more than 27.5% of the entire Bible in the daily mass. But you don't have to believe me, if you don't want to. Do the math for yourself.

Ok, and cite some percentages in your church. :)

Wow, Clintonian response. You coumpletely changed what I said. I said the percentage of the Mass which is from the Bible. Then you cherry pick one part of the Mass, and leave all the parts of the Mass that contain the Bible out. I know the government officially recognizes Catholics as not full citizens of the United States, but c’mon, think for yourself.
