I’m not sure why Catholics would read scripture extensively anyway. It’s secondary to what the Catholic Church teaches. I haven’t yet figured out why Catholics get upset when others say they aren’t taught as much scripture as Protestants. How many times have we been scoffed at for claiming “Sola Scriptura”? If scripture isn’t to be the sole source for doctrine why get upset that scripture isn’t first and foremost in the Catholic Church?
Cyn.. let me take a stab at that.
For Catholics the Mass is first and foremost.
Impossible to speak for all Catholics, but the Sola Scriptura part is immensely foreign to them just as tradition is foreign to protestants.
It is a huge gulf between almost all Catholics and protestants, which can be crossed-over one-on-one but rarely if ever on a forum like FR.
For the Greater Glory of God
Yeah. They dis Scripture and then try to get into a spitting contest about who reads more.
So what if there is Scripture read at every mass.
How many of them read it every day outside of church?
It’s not like church is the only place one can or should be reading the Bible.
If they’re not getting it on their own, it doesn’t really matter if *more* is read in church once a week or not.
