Another weird post, I’m not doing a narrative, you are.

Post 6 was very simple, and evidently accurate according to Catholic sources.

I’m not doing a narrative, you are.

Let's explore your narrative, shall we?

Post 6 was very simple...

Indeed. You said, "The thing that baffled me...was, I couldn’t figure out how they conducted services without bibles." Glad you used past tense for your bafflement since you are aware that Scriptures are contained in missals, as you acknowledged in post #65: "Catholic parishes usually supply missalettes, which contain ...the Scripture readings." In post #65 you stated, "A missal isn’t the Bible, it is a missal. Therefore your narrative seems to be that without a complete set of scriptures available in the pews, it's problematic when a lector or Priest reads the Word from the pulpit.

Your narrative also seems to indicate that LISTENING to the Word without a full set of scriptures is problematic too. In post #65 you quoted Catholic Answers as saying "Some parishes prefer that congregants listen only to the lector rather than silently reading along..." Are there not numerous scriptures that point out the importance of HEARING the word? Or are those scriptures reserved only for nonCatholics whose pews have no Bibles and no hardcopy of scripture in any form?
