“And yet the Church did encourage it and so did every Catholic Bible itself. Ever hear of Vatican II?”
Not in the church, or the school I went to !
“Ever go to Mass? There’s way more than a few verses here and there.”
We went every Sunday, there was just a few readings with out much explanation of it.
“There’s no reason to put Bibles in the pews when the Missal is what is needed for the Mass.”
NO REASON ?, are you afraid people might read it discover some truth ?
“The real problem would be your own lack of curiosity.”
As a grade school kid, we were never encouraged or taught to read the Bible, the ONLY emphasis was just to show up every Sunday, otherwise, it was a “mortal sin”
“In short it was big ripoff.”
No, in itself it wasn’t.
You’re right, church tradition isn’t worth knowing !
“I am so blessed that the Lord opened my eyes in recent years.”
Apparently they’re not open enough yet.
Hey,you have no idea what The Lord has revealed to me !!

So you never looked inside the cover of a Catholic Bible and saw the encouragement printed there?
“We went every Sunday, there was just a few readings with out much explanation of it.”
No, there were two or three major readings and numerous Biblically based prayers as I linked to. Also, there was a sermon after the gospel.
“NO REASON ?, are you afraid people might read it discover some truth ?”
No, the exact opposite. I think everyone should read it. There is no reason to put Bibles rather than Missals in the pews, however. You can go to ANY bookstore and buy a Catholic Bible. Missals are not in typical bookstores and are what are actually used in Mass, thus there presence in the pew is more important.
“As a grade school kid, we were never encouraged or taught to read the Bible, the ONLY emphasis was just to show up every Sunday, otherwise, it was a “mortal sin””
Again, you never looked inside the cover at the encouragement there? Who is at fault then?
“You’re right, church tradition isn’t worth knowing !”
Of course it is - that’s what the New Testament canon is - Church tradition.
“Hey,you have no idea what The Lord has revealed to me !!”
Your comments aren’t revealing much either.
