"There's still more Scripture being preached in that Presbyterian church than in any Roman Catholic service I've ever attended. Your little exhibition merely highlights the fact that Protestant churches preach from the entire Scriptures, whereas Rome ignores the Epistles and the Old Testament because those book directly contradict Rome's ideology (which is also contradicted by the Gospels.)"

Let me be the first to call Bovine Scat! I seriously doubt that you have EVER attended a single Catholic service, let alone mass or you would know that every service has a reading from the OT, the Epistles and the Gospels accompanied by a homily.

It really is pitiful when to watch the anti-Catholics like you stoop to outright lies in the comparison and contrast of the belief systems. It is only confirmation of how incomplete and false the word of Calvin really is.

As I've said, I've attended many RC Sunday services. My in-laws are RC. Many of my friends in college were RC. Again, your observations are false.

And I've never doubted the RC Sunday service recites a line here and there from the Bible. However, there is no solid preaching from the Scriptures. There is no sermon where the word of God is taught and appreciated.

What passes for a sermon in the RCC is a weak-wristed "homily" which usually consists of discussing weekday events in the church and the latest scandal to beset its priestcraft.

There is only superstition and adoration of fallible human beings and the duplicity of "another Christ," all of which obscures the truth that there is only one Christ and one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus.
