>>However Catholic doctrine certainly seems to keep people more distant from their bibles.<<

Well I have been to "Bible Study Foundation" through a Methodist Church and Catholic Bible study through my church now and the only difference I found was that the BSF people had a problem with Catholic teachings. When I told them that I was not happy with what they were saying (which was connected to idolatry and Mary) I was told that I had an option not to come back.

A bible study by and for women. Nothing would surprise me. BSF rules state not to mention your denomination during the study. It is supposed to be focused on the bible alone. It sounds like they forgot to mention that to you or you wanted to bring up some RC particulars. But do you study the bible on yourown and read through it at lease once a year?
