“You need to look that up on your own if you are curious about it.”
I’m not curious about it at all. I already know how they managed. I was merely asking so that you could fail in answering - which you’ve done that brilliantly. Thanks.
“Post 31 claims that the Catholics churches all supply bibles during mass, is that correct?”
Is that what Post 31 claims? I don’t see the word “all” in there anywhere. Perhaps NKP_Vet meant missals. What might be more interesting is why you think someone must have a Bible to worship. Again, how did the Apostles manage then?
“If it is, is seems to be a change that came after what I observed in my youth.”
Should anyone trust your observations in the first place when you seem so easily “baffled”?
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Wow, these reactions are strange. So far my memory seems accurate, it seems to be making people angry for some reason though, people are telling me that the bibles were there right in front of me and that I am wrong, but it sure isn’t convincing.
Post 40 supports my memory, and from what I have seen, bibles still don’t seem to always be supplied, or even generally supplied, contrary to what is being posted at me.
Although their are plenty of Bibles in any Catholic Church, I have never relied on the Church to supply me with a Bible.
I take my own and have for many years. I use the RSV-CE and for reference the Douay-Rheims.
