I suspect they have a week belief in the bible but I'll check them out...

Yes indeed. Week by week. In my case, and the case of many others, day by day as we attend Mass or read our "office". And today I was assigned a penance of .... wait for it ... reading the Bible more, and I EAGERLY accepted! PLEASE don't throw me in that briar patch! ;-)

DO check Scott Hahn, bearing in mind that most conversion stories are written by the young and still somewhat bemused. And be careful that you don't put yourself in a circular argument trap. It's easy (btdt) to assume and then to hide the assumption from oneself, that being RC necessarily implies a "weak" belief in Scripture -- and then, having brought that into the cave with you, you find that it is there in the cave. It's VERY hard to stand back, I find.

LOL - you too? Two weeks ago I was assigned reading the Book of Sirach, a chapter a day, until I finished it. My BF asked if there was something he should know, given the penance.

I have the online Douay-Rheims bookmarked on my toolbar, and it took a lot of investigation to realize there was a (relatively recent) name change!
