It is really sad to think Catholics won’t use the Bible as their authority but would rather say their church fathers have the truth. Very sad.
This statement is highly offensive. The Catholic Church CANONIZED the Bible. There is nothing in Catholic teaching that is NOT totally consistent with Scripture. At every Mass, the entire first half of the service is the LITURGY OF THE WORD, dedicated to FOUR different readings of the Bible, both OT and NT, always a Gospel reading. Over the course of three years, a daily communicate will have heard the entire Bible read in Church. We do not pick and choose which verses to focus on -- but read the WHOLE of the Scriptures in our services. The rest of the service, from beginning to end of Mass is entirely based in Scripture.

Scripture in the Order of the Mass
The Mass is a perfect reflection of the Heavenly Liturgy described in St. John's Book of Revelations.
