In the Catholic religion?

None.

We were told growing up that we shouldn’t read the Bible because we couldn’t understand it. Only those so trained, ie priests and nuns, could and if we had questions, we should ask them and they’d explain it to us.

We did have a Catholic Bible at home and a snuck a peek into it every once in a while. Nad I don’t even remember now what I was reading, but deed, it didn’t make any sense. But then again, I could have been reading Ezekiel or something.
