Wagglebee (post #3257): So, how about you provide me with a link to a SINGLE OPC church that is still in operation that shows where they have a Gospel reading EACH week at their Sunday service (remember, we are talking about an actual service, not a Bible study).

Quix: I think it’s a silly question, MOSTLY, anyway.

So, do you think it silly to read the Gospel? In The Church we read the Gospel, OT and NT each week and read through the entire bible each year. But if you think this a silly question, well...

If a Catholic attends daily Mass, just think of all the Scripture he hears. An epistle and Gospel reading EVERY DAY, plus psalms. There is also a two-year cycle to the daily readings, so you're getting over 600 selections from the Bible before the cycle repeats.

On Sundays, there's a 3-year cycle of readings from the O.T. and the New.
The priest is also expected to preach the sermon on the specific readings of the day. The priests that I have heard almost always do just that, and the homilies can run a good half-hour. This notion that Scripture is absent from the Mass or treated insignificantly is nonsense.

If a Catholic were to also pray the Liturgy of the Hours and the Office of Readings, he would have many additional texts from Scripture to read and pray over.

The Catholic Church's liturgical life is saturated with Scripture.

I think it is silly to claim you read through the entire Bible each year if you claim it is done through the Mass.

It is another story if you participate in a Bible Study exercise. If this is the case do you care to estimate what % of your congregation participates?

Deo and Natural Law, ping to Cronos' post #3314.

Cronos, ping to my posts #3679, #3685, #3844, and #3870, and Natural Law's post #3681 wherein she questions the ability to hear the entire Bible, during Mass, over the course of a single year.
