#1 Actually, few Roman Catholics own a Bible, and if they do it is the "Douay" version. The Vatican assigns to clerics the role of transmitters of church doctrine. The faithful are deemed unqualified to understand the New Testament. As a former RC, who attended hundreds of hours of catechism instruction, be aware that at NO time did a priest either read from a Bible or ask indoctrinates to read from same. In fact, Bibles were not present in class. Having a monopoly on understanding, allowed the RC leadership to peddle "indulgences" for centuries.

Loyola wrote: "Thou shalt be prepared to believe that that which is black is actually white, should the church so dictate." He wrote that in contempt of the Reformation. Later, Pope Pius 9, wrote a "Syllabus of Errors" in which he pronounced specified political freedoms and scientific thinking, as anathema.

#5 Put a green Koranic cover on your bibles & walk right into the People's Paradise, no problem. The guards won't know the difference anyway.
