Well, wait a minute here.Believe in Bible reading (the Holy Mass liturgy includes three readings: one Old Testament, one New Testament, One Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ. As well as numerous Psalms.) Catholics believe that a life lived in charity, a life lived honoring the precepts of the Lord, are visible witnessing to Christ and as such evangelizes. It it admittable that more aggressive evangelization would indeed be pleasing to the Lord, too. V's wife

OK, sorry, that did not translate. I will try again.

*Believe salvation comes through Jesus Christ

Catholics believe this

*Committed churchgoers

Catholics believe this is a requirement

*Bible readers

Catholics read three selections from the Bible each time they attend mass. Some of us practise the daily liturgy of the hours. Twice, at least, and, more correctly three times a day. The Old and New Testament are read at each hour. .

*Accept leadership positions

Many Catholics are Deacons, are Liturgical readers, and are Religious Education Teachers

*Invest in personal faith development through the church

We believe that occurs through The Sacraments

*Feel obligated to share faith; 79% do so.

Catholics believe that living one's faith, staying married, doing charitable works, and being open to new life, is a sharing of faith. Next to the Federal Government, the Catholic Church is the largest provider of social services, including aid to the poor, education, and hospital services. It was, I believe, the number one responder in terms of dollars and aid to Hurricane Katrina
