Some Christians believe that Catholics are not encouraged to read the Bible. In fact, the opposite is true...and why wouldn’t it be, after all, the Bible is a Catholic book. What do I mean by that? >>

Right, the Catholics wrote the bible, translated the bible, copied the bible, and kept the bible in print, by hand, during the middle ages.

What many protestants and cathoics don’t know is that the present lectionary we use at mass is also used by the: lutherans, presbyterians and methodists. How’s that for us not knowing the bible then I guess the protestants don’t know it either.

Also, by attending sunday mass for three years the bible is read and then interpreted by a priest.

I have heard that ; but I'm unsure that it is true.

I hear ya...I'd be embarrassed too...

Just think, if you missed one mass in the first three years, it'd take 6 years for you to get thru the bible, if you only missed one mass in 6 years...
