2) Who will hear more of the Bible at church in a three year period, a Catholic or Protestant?

Most Bible based preachers include a sermon citing chapters/verses/passages/entire books of the Bible. They encourage to read those passages later.

Most Baptist Churches hold “Sunday School” before the Sunday service and “Wednesday Bible Studies.” “Sunday School” is often another word for “Bible Study.”

Nearly every Baptist Church I've attended provided a Bible Study plan to “Read the Bible in a Year.”

Do you really want to argue who will “hear more Bible?”

Incidentally, the first time I read the Bible completely through I had it on a computer screen parallel with Strong's Concordance and Matthew Henry's concise commentary. I was about 33 years old, I had left Catholicism at about 21 and had never actually read the Bible. I was very annoyed when I learned how far the Catholic Church strayed from the teachings of Jesus and His apostles.

let's see now...you conducted a private study of the bible and some other related books and came to the conclusion that your interpretation of the bible was correct and that of the 2,000 year old Catholic and hstorical church was wrong.....Pathetic.
