Did you know that Catholics really do read the Bible? In fact,
Did you know that the New Testament was written, copied and collected by Catholic Christians?
How about that the official canon of books in the Bible were determined by the Catholic Church in the 4th Century?
Did you know that Martin Luther said "We are obliged to yield many things to the Papists (Catholics) that they possess the word of God which we received from them, otherwise we should have known nothin at all about it."
Did you know that while the Catholic Church didn't write the Old Testament it did use it's authority to determine which books should be in the bible and to assure us that everything in the Bible is inspired?
One last question. Did you know that if your Bible contains Wisdom, Sirach, Judith, Baruch, Tobit and 1& 2 Maccabees you're using the same Old Testament that Jesus and the New Testament writers used?
