[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 410274, member: 2844"]That means she is a good Catholic.:playful: Catholics are not 'Bible bashers' (excuse the term), they merely live in a Catholic tradition. Reading is not necessarily part of that, it could encourage people to think for themselves, and we can't have that, can we. This is also the ongoing battle between Catholic theologians and the Vatican. We think when we shouldn't, and even publish.:eek: Just an aside: I studied theology at a faculty which had close ties with the Belgian theologian Edward Schillebeeckx. The Vatican prosecuted him for twenty years, but his books were too difficult for them to understand, so it never actually came to a sentence. There used to be an index of forbidden books, originally published by the Vatican as the 'Index Librorum Prohibitorum', but later some countries had their own lists as well. I remember the Old Testament was on the list here in the Netherlands, probably elsewhere as well, because of all the promiscuity and violence. We had a book called 'Biblical History' instead. My father used to read the few remaining juicy bits to us before dinner.:D[/QUOTE]
