Not a joke. I know that it is common in the Catholic church to NOT actually read the bible.

BWAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

I can safely ignore whatever follows ...

I love how often people who “know” so much about about other religions and the Bible will then pretend Jesus did a grape juice miracle, since they “read” so very well.

Do what I do, just ignore the whole thing...LOL.

My kids’ Catholic school must not have that memo that says we can’t read the Bible. They each have a verse to memorize each week, and my 6th grader is quite proficient in reciting large verses to me on a regular basis. She also just received the ‘Covenant Award,’ voted the girl in her class who follows God’s teachings (more specifically, the 10 Commandments—wait, don’t those come from the Bible? hmmm...)

I grew up in a very Catholic area. I attended Latin mass myself. (The part where they asked for money was always in English) The local church had a Catholic grammar school and many kids in secular public school were released early on Wednesdays for religious instructions. In the secular public school fish was always on the menu on Fridays. One of my best friends attended a local Catholic high school. My wife and her family were all Catholic.

I am aware of what is taught in the Catholic church and how it operates. I think it's great if in your church you actually read the bible and live your life according to the bible. If so, you must agree that I quoted scripture accurately and my point was well taken as backed up by scripture.
