You should read xone’s response to me..

I did, you never replied but saw on another thread that you were indeed a Catholic. Helps to explain why Catholics have little use for the 'book they penned', since it all just stories that teach a good lesson. Just like Cat in the Hat.

Reading is a skill: Cat in the Hat finishes up open-ended.

I have HORRIFIC allergies as of last night and I've been just too whipped to do much beyond blowing my nose. I'm stuffed with every medication known on the planet and I expect to be up and running in a day or so.
Sorry.

I am not the avid Bible reader that PROTESTANTS are. We have the Sacraments. Receiving, almost daily, I might add, the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, God, I have found that the daily readings at Mass are sufficient for all the Bible readings.
ALL the Bible is covered (I was told) in a cycle of THREE years. So, I have heard the entire Bible MANY times since I am old. I started going to daily Mass, believe it or not, while my husband and I lived (for five years, starting in 1980) in Saudi Arabia.

ARAMCO provided "special teachers" for us Christians: Catholics (priest), Protestants (one minister for all the denominations) and a vicar for the few Anglicans. So, I picked up right where I left off in the cycle, since Mass is exactly the same wherever a Catholic goes in the world.
It was also in English and the vernacular is in use. So when in Rome, the Mass is in Italian.

So, it is NOT that we have "little use" for the Bible, we HEAR the entire Bible every three years so have no need to read it.
Protestants have, I understand, no daily service where the Bible is read and so, for God's word, they must read the Bible on their own.
