Services at other Christian denominations have readings from scripture during service but they also have Bibles in church too.

Catholics and Orthodox attend Church to worship God, not to study the Bible. Each day there are readings from Scripture at the celebration of the liturgy. We worship through prayer. Why would we need a Bible?

Isn’t worshipping God the point to attending services no matter what Christian denomination?

Why would we need the inspired words of the Living God, in the Catholic church???

(We are Catholics, we are the 'real' Christians)

Ding Dong...
