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?

Actually, the Bible is read completely in the mass in three years. We have one reading from the OT, one from NT and one specifically from the Gospels.
Along with that, I started a website "Read the Bible in a Year" through a Christian Homeschool group I belong to. Pitifully, I have not gotten there yet but all of us have to start somewhere and I will be through it in June. I like starting my day with The Lord and will then start over and do it again.
Catholics are Christians and I have found people who are shocked when talking to me about it. A few ladies were taken aback when I said I was Catholic and I actually had one woman say to me, "But you're so Christian!" Truly I know this is not the run of the mill. I am surprised, however, listening to some of my friends who forget who is in the room when a discussion starts. I have at least convinced these ladies that we don't pray to statues!
