Most Catholics are unfamiliar with the Bible.

ROFL!!!!

Do you really believe that? How droll ...

My guess is that Catholics certainly are familiar with the Bible. I have to admit, however, that on five or six occasions in my life, I've heard a Catholic friend joke, "I don't read the Bible . . . I'm a Catholic."

And on a few occasions, the other Catholics with us would chuckle.

So there's apparently a joke in there somewhere.

Yep. It’s like how liberals claim conservatives really are uneducated. They are poking fun at the stereotype.

Unfortunately, it’s just not true.

I hope you tell them that the Pope wants them to read the Bible!
