However, I would like to post a question to those who are catholic. Do you study the bible? Do you have bible studies? I know for me the scriptures are what make me change my behavior and thoughts. It is what convicts me of my sin. It is what gets me through tough times.

Yes we read the Bible. Your next question/comment makes me think this isn't a question at all.

Of all the catholics I know, which is alot of people, I can only think of 1 who actually read and studied the bible. It was my neighbor. I know my friends and relatives who are catholic say that the bible must be interperted by a priest and they never read it.

Then they are mistaken and must not be attending Mass. Every Mass consists of a Bible reading of several verses and a sermon on those verses. Most of the text of the Mass is taken from verses in the Bible, like the words of the Centurion to Jesus. Most churches have Bible discussion groups. Knights of Columbus have drives that collect money to send Bibles out for free. Whats really sounds funny is that nowhere in any Catholic teaching can you find the Bible being subjugated to being "interpreted" by a priest. Are you sure you heard this first hand? This sounds like what anti-Catholic evangelists spew out at meetings.

When I try to have a discussion about religion, they immediately say...well, that's what you think, not all religions believe that...and then they end the conversation. Is this what all catholics believe? These are just honest questions. I really would like to know. Thank you.

I will give you an honest answer. It sounds like you read too much Jack Chick. Catholics compiled the Bible into the form you read today.

Here is a honest question. Are you interested in Conservative common cause with Catholics?

Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about? I read and study the Holy Bible in KJ, NIV, NLT, NRKJ versions. What is Jack Chick?
