Catholics? Bible avoiding?
Where did you get that idea?
We read the Bible every day at Mass.
Read the thread so that you can understand the context, this was about having and using Bibles at services.
If the Catholics don't have a Bible in their hand, how are they reading it?
We know our faith, how the scriptures came to us all, the history, how much scripture we study and hear daily, the divine office, etc.. You can’t give an account to those who refuse it (well you can, then shake the dust off your feet). The fathers of the church are there waiting, Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek are there, the Holy Spirit is there.
Pray for each other and exercise patience. The evil one is about dia bolign, tearing apart, that is not of God.
For all of us:
We have brothers and sisters who are getting raped, maimed, killed, run out of their homes and businesses; Churches bombed, missionaries killed and others who don’t see missionaries but twice a year in some villages.
Here we are getting attacked from the state.
All this time sniping would be better spent in prayer for our faith, to do God’s will, not our own, pray for our brothers and sisters being persecuted, for the conversion of atheists, muslims, etc., and that we resist pride, removing the planks from our eyes.
Note: Be sure to remind me of us when I go off in a few minutes... it’s a struggle I fight daily. LOL
Hey, if you don’t have wolves, you’re not sheep. God bless.
We could always start studying OT together?
Or simply start asking questions vs. jumping all over each other and assuming.
