Praising God that some within the Catholic faith are pushing a return to reading the scriptures by it’s members. Would do well if all churches more than encouraged this. Otherwise those who are not familiar with God’s written word willl surely be deceived when that time comes.....just as we see evidence of this happening already, and for some time in our own country.

This is based on a false premise that the Catholic faith has never encouraged Scripture reading.

From http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/quickquestions/?qid=290

"The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful...to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ." (CCC 133)
