>>To me , it is absolutely stunning the lack of knowledge that Catholics have of the Bible. Where as a kid, we Protestants were absolutely drilled on scripture, Catholics (even with catechism)only learn Dogma and tradition of RC Church.<<

I agree. I have been married 20 years to a Catholic and he knows no scripture and chooses not to read or discuss it. He only attends church at Easter and Christmas.

I have to ask: Are you making a judgement or characterization of all Catholics on the basis of a catholic who commits what his Church calls a mortal sin more than 50 times a year? Does he go to confession or receive the sacrament during his Christmas and Easter attendance? That would be more mortal sin.

I'm not so much ragging on him as I am questioning forming an opinion about Catholics and the Bible on a sample like that one.
