Whoever said that he feels sorry for catholics not being encouraged to read the bible?
The whole catholic mass has songs and readings containg biblical verses… then we hear a old testament reading and a new testament we sing a psalm we here a reading from the gospel and alot of catholics go to church daily… all people are encouraged to read the bible the church offers an indulgence for those who read the bible for an hour daily the church asks for people to read the bible daily… kids in catholic school get taught from the bible daily in religious class… priest must read the bible daily for more then an hour and must read the psalms …. why do you think that we don’t read the bible?
Catholics are encouraged to read the Bible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says:
The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ,’ by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. ‘Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.’
With love in Christ.
