The one good thing is that the Bible reading is accepted by Catholics as well.

They REALLY like Rev. 12:1; claiming that it is MARY; the Mother of our Lord; as the WOMAN being referred to:
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
Shouldn't they ALSO claim that the woman is still Mary in the FOLLOWING verses??
2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered.
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his head seven diadems:
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God, and to his throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.
I thought that John was supposed to be taking care of Mary?? John 19:26-27 KJV
