You sound like a good person, but please do not upset yourself about others reading of the Bible. It is what you do that will count. God bless.
i dont upset myself about THAT
I do get disturbed when i see "Catholics" acting more like worldings than worldllngs... (protesters, as i call them)
Even that does not disturb me when i remind myself that they have free will and can change any time they decide to do so

In my experience, many Catholics actually know quite a bit about the bible--they just can't quote it or tell you where it is.  Protestants, on the other hand, can generally quote specific snippets chapter and verse and misuse those quotes to "prove" their heresies.
in my experience, the protesters who know chapter and verse are the worst ones for PRACTICING Christianity.. and you see this more clearly when you see their interactions w/ Catholics (than other protesters)

Then there are those who don't even read the Bible but act more Christian than the ones who know it chapter and verse... sigh

strange world...

We only get a few paragraphs of scripture at each Mass so there is no way it could be almost the whole Bible. I think the church includes the most important parts for us. 

I do wish our chapels would offer scripture classes, particularly if they were thematic based rather than just cover to cover.

If you go to daily Mass you will hear virtually the entire Bible in 3 yrs, repetition notwithstanding
Rosary93, you completely ignored the statements that said only the new mass was THAT meandering.

Here's the problem with your theory, or whine, or complaint.  If one lives in the US, the tax laws are set up so that we must semi-voluntarily donate hugh sums of money to other people. We are not allowed to stop it if it goes to PP, or free cell phones, or whatever.

It is not a trivial amount, and no matter how hard the workers work, there are always liberals asking for more. Surely you must understand that not all poor people (however that is defined) have been placed in that situation by evil rich people. There are evil people of wealth, and evil people in poverty.

Although one must follow the obvious commands of the Lord to have compassion on the needy, and the Sermon on the Mount was brought forward for a reason, you can not use social justice rhetoric to  to trample over, or nullify, the 4th, 5th, 7th,  and 10th commandments.

In my experience Protestants do not know the bible, it is just that Catholics know it less. Like the saying:

"In the country of blind men the one eyed man is a king".

Any Catholic with a Haydock Bible and a Scriptural Concordance can drive even a Protestant batty.
thanks. I needed to h ear that, even though I already pretty much knew it.
That's why these people I know (just met) who hate Catholicism do not bother engaging in conversation with me. They know they can't win. At least that is what I tend to think  8) kind of hard to know exactly what people are thinking 
but I try
