Old rules say the new phase is wrong. Don’t they read the Bible?

I think it's too long for most of them. Virtually all Catholics I know are so used to the predigested, condensed & expurgated version that is spoon-fed to them at daily mass, that they lack the chewing muscles and digestive systems needed to consume real meat (Hebrews 5:12-13).

Maybe I missed something here, but I thought that article was about the Church of England (Anglican/Episcopalian, not Catholic).

Lovely non sequitur there Alex. If I tell you that it's cold outside, do you respond by blaming it on the Catholics somehow?

Or are you trying to respond to news that yet another Proddie denomination has slipped further into apostasy with an attempt at diversion? "Look! A squirrel!"

All of the European churches which claim institutional continuity back to their founding in the reformation are basically dead, gone from the worship of the Living God to the idolatry of the zeitgeist. Let him who has ears, hear.

Catholics tell us often that it’s only the magesterium that can interpret or understand scripture so why would they feel a need to read it?
