Not really, having never been exposed to one before.

Seriously, you really expect someone to believe this? Every Sunday in Mass you heard The first reading from the OT, a Psalm which you were expected to respond to, The second Reading from the NT, followed by a reading from the Gospel, with a homily drawing the three readings together. During the Consecration, you heard the exact words that Jesus used at the last supper.

Even as a kid, when going to Mass was something I had to do, even though I didn’t fully understand it or even believe it all, I KNEW that the readings were from the Bible.

When I came back to the Church after twenty years of agnosticism and indifference to God, Jesus, religion et al, I bought my first Bible as an adult. I remember so clearly as I read it thinking, “Oh, I remember this story.” In other words, it was all very familiar to me, as if I had heard it before and more than once.

Well, gee, I had, in Mass and in religion class.

What a ridiculous meme pushed by Protestants....that Catholics don’t read or know the Bible.
