He said he grew up in the Catholic Church and went to CAtholic school and never heard anything about the Bible.
As a cradle Catholic, who went to Catholic schools, is not yet 40, and was brought up during an incredibly lax time of catechesis, that is rather incredulous. The first class I can remember being required to have a bible was freshman Old Testament, but before that we read stories and parables from it. We knew what it was, but hadn't really begun to study it. And daily Mass - there's more scripture there than not. We had a number at home, and my grandparents had a few. Anybody who grew up Catholic and can make that claim is a victim of lax schools, catechesis and parenting, IMO.
Anybody who grew up Catholic and can make that claim is either lying, mentally disabled, or a fictional character.
