I think you are mistaken here. Our priest preaches on a passage from the Bible every week.
(More than you can say for some protestant churches.) Yes, I attended some where there was actually NO reading from the Bible.
You have two, three or four passages read from the Bible at every Catholic Mass in the entire world.
Get your facts straight before you start Catholic bashing on this point!
I suppose that it is all relative. Our pastor preached from Jeremiah for almost a year with each sermon lasting 45 minutes. That you have two, three or four passages read from the Bible at every Catholic Mass in the entire world does not seem all that impressive when it comes to equipping the faithful.
I didn't bash anything or anyone Catholic. I simply potsed the news report showing that "most" catholics don't read the Bible for themselves and that the leadersship of the RCC recently told the "catholic faithful" that parts of the Bible were not true and could not be trusted.
I have seen that happen also. In fact, we had a missionary who spoke today and while he might of quoted some Scripture, he never really read anything from the word.
he talked a lot about that movie, "End of the Spear." I found all that to be borning and spent most of the service this morning reading in my own Bible and praying for the unsaved in the service.
