you may have lived in a Catholic neighborhood, but you obviously never attended a Catholic Mass, because if you did you would know it is all Scriptural.

I believe, nearly 80% of the Old and New Testaments are read at daily Mass over a period of three years. This is a hold-over from the first centuries when no one had any bible at all so whatever they know they heard in Church.

I wouldn’t know since I have never been to a protestant service, however, I have been told by protestants that there is more Scripture in a Catholic Mass than they hear from their preacher or pastor on any given Sunday.

Now if you actually go to a Church on the Lords day, your particular mileage may vary.

Actually, it is far less than that. See Lectionary Statistics - How much of the Bible is included in the Lectionary for Mass?.

No need to rely on second hand info (You've bashed that enough already in this thread) there are THOUSands OF PROTestant churches open on any given Sunday (and other days as well).

Even a vampire can enter them, as there's no Holy Water to repel them.

You can slip right in the door and find out for yourself. (What a concept!)

You might want to take a month or so to sample all varities of them.
