In the Catholic Church, all Catholics in the United States will hear the same readings at Mass today: Deuteronomy 6:2-6, Psalm 18:2-3, 3-4, 47, 51, Hebrew 7:23-28, and Mark 12:28b-34
Will other Catholics in other countries be hearing these readings this Sunday as well?

Yes, most will hear the same Reading from the Old Testament and Gospels and all will participate in same the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The sermons will be independent from each priest throughout the world but the Liturgy of the Eucharist will be united worldwide for all 1 billion Catholics.
What is most fantastic is that these Readings and Lessons will be heard in the multiple languages of the world. Each in their native language.

Many Catholics have differing views on the topics and regulations of the Catholic Church.

I am not sure about all Catholics, but for those who follow the Roman Catholic Rite, it is the same all over the world. I do not know about Greek, Russian, Egyptian or other rites.

I think so because those are the same readings i heard today. My grandmother lives in cali, colombia in south america and she heard the same readings as well. I don't know about east catholics though.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking probably. Catholic Church seems to regulate all of its services to be the same. I really don't know for sure, but it seems probable to me.
God bless!

Wow that is so weird. Aren't pastors supposed to pray about what the Lord wants them to preach about that Sunday?
