I’m an Evangelical, and we have a strong growing church.
We also have a Catholic church in town. I have to say, it is relatively robust as well, and also growing.
We are please that many of their women attend our regular Bible Studies. When we asked how they know about us, one lady told us their priest has been sending them over for years. He tells the ladies we have great Bible studies, and they should take advantage of them.
It is astounding to me that the Catholic Church has no “Sunday School” apparatus, or Bible Studies of their own. Study is left aside to the individual Catholic, and the parish otherwise is confined to a strictly 55 minute Holy Mass, per week. That’s not quite four hours a month!
Thanks be to God for EWTN TV & RADIO, which single handedly brought me into the Church and kept me zealous for her. I would be illiterate but for this programming, and it’s the protestant converts behind their best programs, offering spectacular adult catechesis and materials.
But yes Catholics are starving otherwise.
