very true. ...there are many misunderstandings and false beliefs about Catholics.
(and often, sadly, much pure venom!)

The Catholic Mass is totally Bible centred
... What many Evangelicals don’t know is that each Catholic Mass has four Bible readings in it

What many Catholics don't know is that the Mass skips almost three-quarters of the Bible. For example, the daily Mass-attending Catholic hears 3378 verses (13.5%) out of the Old Testament in two years' time, and 5689 verses (71.5%) out of the New Testament in three years' time (the reading cycles repeat themselves after that). The Bible has 33001 verses, yet only 9067 are read in Mass, i.e. only 27.5% of the entire Bible (excluding Psalms) is heard by a daily-Mass-attending Catholic.
