During mass there are three different, seperate readings from the bible. The missal is very full of scripture. Eventually, from what, I understand one who reads just the missal will cover the whole bible. After having been on this board do you really believe that Catholics donât read the scripture?Hi Voci, I do believe there are none in Rcc. I never saw one in the catholic church. O,h well at least they wrote it. Ill give them that much credit.God Bless
Spokenword,I donât know where you guys having been going to Church but there most certainly ARE Bibles in our Churches. First of all, there is the Book of the Gospels and the Lectionary. Now some Protestants will say that that is not the same as the Bible since it isnât complete or âin orderâ. That is an accusation that backfires since the KJV is certainly not complete either and Martin Luther himself fooled around with the order of the books of the Bible. Even protestant bibles are sometimes sold in parts (i.e. New Testament, Psalms etc.). So completeness is not the defining characteristic.
In many Catholic Churches, there are Bibles in the pews right there with the missals and song books. This is probably not the most usual set up though.Wow. She really was poorly catechised. If this is what she truly believed, it is no wonder she ended up in a Protestant church. It amazes me how poorly catechised people misrepresent the Church and how other poorly catechised people believe them!
Then I just guess all those scripture readings in my missals at church donât count as parts of the Bible. And even if I couldnât read them the fact that they are read aloud to the whole church just doesnât count I guess. Nor the fact that if you mosey into the church office and ask for one they will put it right there in your hand doesnât count either⌠This is about THE lamest excuse to bash the Catholic Church⌠You can bury a person in Bibles and that doesnât mean that theyâre gonna live any better.Hi Voci, I do believe there are none in Rcc. I never saw one in the catholic church. O,h well at least they wrote it. Ill give them that much credit.
This statement is just plain ridiculous! To equate the assertion that the Church Fathers were one in faith (which they were) to calling Catholics members of a âwhoreâ is hardly âequally contemptibleâ. You need to reevaluate what is and what isnât truly contemptible.
Since the Mass is community praise and giving glory to God, it would be kind of self-defeating for anyone to pick up the Bible and read whatever section they want to read in Churchâor whatever section someone on the pulpit decides theyâre going to go over that day without thought to what the remainder of the Church is doing. Thatâs what is wondeful about the Catholic Mass. Everywhere in the world, all of our Churches are in unisonâŚdoesnât matter what country Iâm in; I may not understand the language, but I certainly understand the Mass and if prepared, Iâll know every word of the readings for that day.Hi Voci, I do believe there are none in Rcc. I never saw one in the catholic church. O,h well at least they wrote it. Ill give them that much credit.
Unbelievable, just unbelievable. This isnât just poor catechesis, this is deliberate misinterpretation. âTen Hail Maryâs and an Our Fatherâ are presented by implication as the ONLY âforgivenessâ this woman would receive from the judgmental old priest and this woman cuts the ground from under her own feet with ânot going to be enough for this sinâ. . .hmmm, gee, confession to a priest (which she REFUSES TO EVEN DO) and a penance given by the priest (a specific one which she didnât get and is only âassumingâ would be inadequate", and âembarassmentâ KEEPING her from the sacrament are all the fault of the mean, nasty olâ whore of Babylon.
I agree. Itâs scripted and disingenuous in my opinion. The motive is impure as well - sheâs bashing the Church.
Penitent;
As I asked, So now scripture isnât scripture unless itâs printed on paper inside a book titled âBibleâ (and preferably a KJV)?Hi Voci, I do believe there are none in Rcc. I never saw one in the catholic church. O,h well at least they wrote it. Ill give them that much credit.
Thatâs a tip-off. FCFC is Former Catholics for Christ, a truly vile bunch of anti-Catholics.
Has anyone else seen the bumper sticker that reads âAnother recovering Catholic for Biblical Christianityâ? What in the hell is THAT supposed to mean? While Iâm sure most of you would consider me a âcafeteria Catholicâ (something I have no problem with), stuff like this really pxxxxs me off! Okay, rant finishedâŚ
