Wow, that phrase all by itself is very interesting. This is something that Satan, via the RCC, has wanted to accomplish. It sure seems that good progress has been made. Discuss the bible with an RC and count how many seconds it takes for said RC to begin attacking not only your "interpretation" of the bible but serious belief in the bible and the bible itself.
At the moment I’m working as a part-time chaplain. One of the other chaplains is a lady who is a lesbian Catholic, and she’s outright told the class that she doesn’t rely on the Bible, and she told us that she doesn’t read it as much as the rest of us on the chaplaincy staff do.
I also minister to Catholics as part of the chaplain work, and a not-uncommon statement I hear is, “I don’t need to read the Bible; I have a priest for that.”
I like Catholics—a good chunk of my family is Catholic, so I’d better like them—but this is what they outright told me.
Oh, and just so no one can accuse me of not ribbing both sides:
*Checks drinking game list. 78: Whenever someone mentions brings up interpreting the Bible, take a shot. So takes a shot.*
