Reading the Bible
I sat for 12 years in a Catholic parochial school and was never
taught about the troubled history of the Catholic Church
and during these same 12 years my knowledge of the Bible
was primarily confined to what I heard spoken from the pulpit.
For 60 years I listened from the pew to homilies that convinced
me that I was still a child in need of patriarchal over-sight
and now that I’m old, I realize that my non-Catholic
friends were educated to know better.
