Most are rather unfamiliar with scripture.
>>That’s an old stereotype that was more the case with the older generation. Catholic parishes have Bible studies all the time.
Vatican II put a strong emphasis on scripture reading. Catholic priests like quoting St. Jerome saying,”Ignorance of the scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”
That quote is right on. The people really need to take that to heart. Truth be known, I think the tendency to study “church catechism” is strong in whatever church organization one belongs to. I have found that if it can’t be proven by scripture it leads farther and farther away from Christ.
