Nor can you say that all Catholics read the Bible. Some may, but I have met only two Catholics in all my life who ever admitted to reading Scripture on a regular basis.
Maybe it's the people you knew??? I've read more bizarre things here that you people insist Catholics either do or don't do that I have never heard of. The funniest one is that we "don't" or are told not to read the Bible. Because y'all just know that somehow.
of course all Catholics don't read the bible...there are "Catholics" who have no idea of what the Bible is....However you met 2 Catholics who did so and there are a couple of BILLION Catholics in the world....what are the odds that many members of a 2,000 year old organization read its' guidebook....the Catholic church gave you the scriptures....preserved them, transcribed them (by hand), and basically makes it possible for all of us to enjoy and learn from them.....say thanks!!
