Cut and paste? It was you who by way of copy/past brought the outline of a "typical Mass" (wasn't that the way you put it, at one point?) with scripture references attributed.

Daniel has done his own extensive examination of those, showing just how sloppy the work of scripture attribution from your source really was/is.

Although dan may not have done in the last day or so all of his own work concerning the RC apologetic which you borrowed from http://www.wctc.net/~mudndirt/Scripture%20in%20mass.htm, we have here on these pages seen this particular fairly recently formulated (page info available at the link indicates -->Modified: Sunday, April 21, 2013 10:03:19 AM) counter-argument to the wider-based critical comparison of evangelical Christians and their own tendencies to be in general (as statistical info Alex Murphy supplied provides substantiation for) more dedicated to bible study than their Catholic counterparts, which is not exactly what the "contest" (who is exposed to the most scripture) as you seemed to have wished to define this apparently, Lucy-with-a football, c'mon Charlie I promise I won't move it again --this time, contest is or is likely to become.

And that's without even mentioning having a Jim Thompson come out of retirement & suit up, lacing on his own spike cleats just to referee a single quarter of school-boy ball game.

As for who is exposed to and actually soaks up more "scripture", mileage may vary as to individual compared to individual, reliant upon how much they themselves are paying attention, but in general, for a long time even among [Roman] Catholics themselves ---- if they were searching for more in-depth expositional preaching there were those (Catholics) who admitted that they could do well (better than typical RC Mass) visiting some on-fire (for the Lord) but mature Presbyterian, Baptist or Pentecostal preacher who really knew his bible, to better help in foundational understanding of just what the Gospel actually is. This better understanding could help them better understand what was being spoken of in their own church, also.

Speaking of quill and vellum, notice in the old broadsheet [below] how the quill in Luther's hand reaches all the way to Rome, passing through both ears of a lion stationed on guard there crouched atop the city, to then continue on reaching far enough to upset the pope's own hat. ha!

gotta' luv it. It's still like that, isn't it? And in our modern time, guys like daniel1212 well enough document his own rebuttals, including utilizing many sources from within [Roman] Catholicism, both formally 'official' and those otherwise well regarded amid apologetic circles, while Springfield Reformer brings well written and considered Amicus Curiae quality and qualified, professional-quality contributions also.

All of which means, that in wider regard of the proceedings here, Charlie Brown need not rely upon Lucy as place-holder as to your own proposition of wager. Lucy is not in the red zone, near to a scoring touchdown herself either, but what else has been occurring other than Lucy having drawn more than few penalty flags on her own "drive" to the opponent's end-zone as it were, there have been at least a few individuals who have picked up the ball and drop-kicked "it" not only aligned through the upright's at Lucy's own end of the field, but have punted the ball clear out the stadium, upon occasion.

I suggest the best Lucy can hope for is at this juncture it to simply accept the ball again on her own 20yrd line, and start over.
