After spending months investigating Catholicism and attending Mass, he noticed something:
Catholics hear a LOT of Scripture.
At Mass you’ll hear readings from the Old Testament, a Psalm, the New Testament, and the Gospel.
Many prayers and responses are rooted in Scripture too.
And that book people sometimes mistake for a Catholic Bible?
It’s often the Missal — the readings, prayers, and responses used at Mass.
So no, Catholics are not “banned” from reading the Bible.
Catholic worship is deeply saturated with Scripture.
And for him, actually experiencing that at Mass made the Bible feel more alive than ever.
Sometimes the best way to challenge a stereotype is simple:
Go see for yourself. ✝️
