Hi Lisa, You said: My best interpretation to your points would be Pre-Vatican II and Post-Vatican II. Well, those things happened almost 20 years ago... long after Vatican II. So Vatican II didn't change all the wrong teachings, huh? I have heard about a couple born-again priests though, which was great news actually. But they were struggling with Catholic doctrine on a personal level. And some priests do encourage the people in their parishes to read the Holy Bible now, which they did not do years ago. My neighbor told me that his priest told him a couple years ago not to bother reading the Bible because a layman couldn't actually understand it, and that's why the priests read it and preach it... to make it more understandable for the laity. Such a shame... my neighbor believed him. So everything is not changed by Vatican II I guess. God bless. |

Well, There, one can't judge an entire religion based on one or two priests. What you've mentioned above ARE things that changed. It's true, priests used to teach not to read the bible because we lay people would surely misinterpret it. They changed that. They know that's a mistake. (Although, I did read a very good book called The Body about just how people of faith can be misguided by following someone elses misinterpetation. Back to the subject...) There will always be those who resist change. Those who want the old way. Who knows what their reason is. My eyes start rolling back in my head after listening to them for too long. I think your neighbor believed because he wanted to. I'm always shocked at how many Christians don't (and or won't) read the bible. They'll give many excuses. But the truth is just laziness. To give them credit though, not all bibles are written the same. Many are unaware that there are different translations, and at many different reading levels. Hope your weekend was grand. We welcomed a new family member. Baby Jenna Rene. My uncle's first. God bless her! Lisa |
