“The Catholics and former Catholics I have known have all said that at mass, Catholics do not read God’s word along with the “Father”.”
Total nonsense. That is what a Missal is for, so that we CAN read the Holy Writ together with the Priest. We all celebrate TOGETHER with the Holy Bible as the base for what we teach and are taught. That you closed your mind is your issue, that you base the lies you tell on that closed mind is simply wrong.
Very judgmental of you. I have not “closed my mind”. I freely acknowledge that I, not being Catholic, know very few Catholics. I can only go on my experience, as we all do. That I simply repeat on this thread that experience, is not telling “lies”. If you insist that Catholics DO read the Bible or Missal, as you call it, during their services then I concede to your experience on the subject! It does nothing for your position to call people on this thread liars who are simply stating what they have been told or have witnessed for themselves.
