Let's face - few Catholics even read the Bible pre-1960s because their Priests told them not to - that they weren't going to be able to understand it on their own and that they needed the priest to do the interpeting for them. In fact I was listening to a priest on tv (Fr. Corappi -sp?), who I like very much, and here in the 21st century, he was saying the same thing.

If you are reading a pre-1960s Catholic Bible now as opposed to back in the actual 1960s, then it is not the same. Anti-semitism ran rampant in our country back then, for both Catholics and Protestants. Bottomline - I wasn't trying to insult you. JUst trying to figure out Pat...

Bottomline- you succeeded in insulting me without trying. Your views of the Catholic Church are nothing but worn-out cliches. Where do you get your information? Jack Chick comic books? The local Masonic lodge? If priests told Catholics not to read the Bible, why did practically every Catholic family have a Bible in their home? Pat B. may be an anti-Semite, but there are anti-Catholic bigots out there, as well. Look in a mirror.

Glad to know YOU know a lot about Catholics, then and now.

What's the inside scoop on JW's?
