Yes unfortuantely what they have been taught I’ve found generally whoever taught it to them didn’t know a thing about Catholicism. Oh well the ones who have come back and joined normally are shocked at what they’ve been lied to about though.

I still remember a virulent anti-catholic freeper here who posted that his lifelong Catholic grandmother, who reportedly attended Catholic service every Sunday, was read the Gospel on her death bed by a protestant minister and remarked that that was the first timeshe had heard the Gospel.  This was his de-facto indictment of Catholicism and how it had fallen from His word. 

I've never seen a clearer demonstration of ignorant bigotry.

 (For the uninitiated, the Catholic mass includes a Gospel reading every single mass)

Thanks the anti Catholic bigotry gets old sometimes but mostly I just figure someone has an attitude and a healthy dose of msplaced hate in their hearts to make them act that way. I’ve read the whole Bible several times though I can’t quote but I never felt that made one a better Christian, more just a show off. It’s more important to know what it truly means.

Reading the gospel every mass is great, except that just like everything else that is done by rote it can just “wash over folks”.

Explaining the Gospel every mass, now that would be good.
