Why did you write this? I don’t want to get attached to a non Catholic, if I do not know, who, specifically is Catholic or not. Is it hosted or formed by Catholics and open to all Christians? There are so many Christian faiths out there who are still bashing Catholics and I have to study the bible with people who may undermining my faith? This utility was available to them on behalf of the organizers in my religion, that is not nice or fair.
I am not saying that all non Catholics do this, but if given the opportunity, it could arise. Some non Catholics do not pester you, but have their own ideals pent up until an opportunity comes by and they let you have it. I am very defensive, and a superb apologetic, but the last thing I would anticipate having to do at a bible study is defend myself. It is almost like the comfort/guilty pleasure you attain going to ceramics classes or book clubs, that is why you physically show up, right?
In my part of town, you need people to oversee the groups, or it just fizzles. I am already somewhat involved with a non Catholic. So why bother going to something like this, if not, for your own spiritual benefit?
