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?
LOL, your weaving of long irrelevant narratives don’t change what I said, “The thing that baffled me the first time I attended a Catholic church as a youth, was, I couldn’t figure out how they conducted services without bibles.””
It turns out my observation was correct, that the people posting to me that the bibles were right there in the holders behind the pews was wrong, and your attempts to portray a couple of sheets of paper as “the Bible”, is just wild and a waste of time. Attempting to change the subject in post after post of your narratives is not useful either, it is just a waste of time and doesn’t change the facts of my post.
You need to post those narratives about listening to a sermon, and missalettes to someone else, they don’t have anything to do with my statement on the Bible.
