I probably have known 20 or 30 RCs over the last 20 years and none of them studies his bible.

Well forgive me, then. Certainly so rigorous a study of Catholics as that is grounds enough to make sweeping charges against a billion people.

Um, let's see:

30 divided by, to be conservative, 900,000,000.

3/90,000,000
.3/9,000,000,
.03/900,000
.003/90,000
.0003/9,000
.00003/900
.00001/300
.000003/100

Oh, yes. THAT there is a representative sample.

It got warm in my back yard yesterday. Global warming is happening!

Leaving aside that you don't have to "qualify" to be Catholic. We include sinners, and we don't give up on them easily. They may not be studying theri Bible now. But who knows what time will bring?

Protestant are all about judging it seems. They judge the heart and intentions of Catholics and a minute snapshot gives them all they need to judge the entire Church.
