Get a grip. This statement is utter foolishness:
But for most Catholics, the Scripture they hear and read is not from the Bible. It is from a worship aid in the pew.
DUH! The "worship aid in the pew" gets its Scripture from the Bible. In fact, that's what the little italics up in the corner (e.g., Mt 5:42-48) mean.
Catholic parishes which are obedient to the Mass rubrics and sing the "mass propers" are singing more Scripture (yes, from the Bible). The "responsorial psalm" is also from the Bible (yes, it's true: the book of Psalms is in the Bible; I checked).
If the "spin" you want to hear is me expressing my sorrow that the USCCB has stupidity like this on its website, you got it.
(Contrast this to the Prottie preacher I used to listen to on the radio, who preached from Romans ... then Galatians ... then Romans again, etc. As far as he was concerned, those were the only books that mattered.)
Plus...you're already spinning better than Jay Carney!
And the protestants don’t even know that on Christmas, we can listen to 12 different selections from the Bible if we attend all the Masses!
I bet that more than they get in a month. LOL!
Back when we were kids, my friend's mom would take a bunch of the old Missalettes and keep them in the station wagon. When they went on a trip she would have the kids sing from them. It cut down on fighting and whining. (14 kids)
