[Faith-talk] Catholicism

Sat Oct 1 16:31:23 UTC 2016

Ericka, it seems an inaccurate statement to say that the only Catholics who 
read their Bibles are the Charismatic ones. It would be impossible to know 
this unless you visited everyone's home and observed their daily routines. 
*smile* The only routine you can comment on is your own. If your church did 
not encourage spiritual discipline, that is sad. My Catholic friends have 
been among the most devout studiers I have known.

Debbie I did not mean to insult you. And I know you flew off the cough 
without realizing it. I was Catholic for eight years and yes I did go 
through all of RCIA.  My former in-laws are Catholic and some of my best 
friends are as well. I'd be happy to talk about this off-line or my phone 
number is here. If you read my post in the past you know that I I am quite 
aware that there are different kinds of Baptists, Lutherans and 
nondenominationals.

Explain to me why the only Catholics that read their Bibles are the 
charismatic Catholics and I have never been in a Catholic Church except 
Greek orthodox that had everyone stay after Eucharist. They went up to the 
railing got their stuff turned around and walked right out the door. I'm not 
saying this is what you and Nova do. I'm just asking in general. I am sure 
this insults are heavenly father.
