February 20, 200917 yr St Therese Parish in Southgate has a Bible study class open to everyone , and We had a class in Bible Study that was mandantory when I attended Newport Catholic 45 years ago . I believe it was in the junior year .
February 20, 200917 yr Obviously, it would be beneficial to stick with the Bible when debating non-Catholics. I was just interested in the standard interaction with the Catholic community. Like, would they be more apt to get involved in a Catechism discussion or a Bible discussion? No idea. To be honest, being under 20, I haven't been too involved in parish activities- my rediscovery of my faith (over the past year and a half) has been mostly introspective. Coupled with the fact that that my official parish is in NKY and I am just drifting from parish to parish here in Lexington, someone else would know better than me. From what I have seen, Catholics don't do group studies as much as Protestant denominations, but I think (as MountainThunder noted) Catholics are increasing group studies, with things such as "Why Catholic?", which is a catechism discussion based on the Bible verses behind what we believe and the moral theology behind it. It has been said before a million times, when you ask a Catholic any question, the answer is normally "both"
February 20, 200917 yr The Bible is universal to Christianity , The Catecheism is Inherent to the Catholic Faith . http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc2.htm
February 20, 200917 yr I've been told by friends who are of the Catholic faith, "the priest will tell us what we need to know". To be fair this was several years ago. Southeast Christian Church has an average of 700 men on their Saturday morning Bible study. 7 AM. I'd never gone too early for me. They also promote weekly studies for all kinds of groups and I asked them being baptist I'm invited and so are people who are Catholic. So we and them can still attend our church and find a bible study.

February 20, 200917 yr ^^^I'm not sure, maybe the Baptist preachers always told us that, and it stuck with me. :idunno: Now I've got to find my dictionary and look up that "P" word. :idunno:I love this guy. :idunno: My point, we can always find a bible study somewhere sometime.

To be fair though, why would a Catholic go to a Baptist Bible study group? As has been noted, there are fundamental differences in the way that Baptists and Catholic interpret the Bible. Would Baptists attend a Catholic Bible study group? I love this guy too.:idunno:
February 20, 200917 yr :idunno: RockMom, Momma says I favor this dude. Thats why I mentioned Southeast Christian and not my church. I was trying to be fair. :isurrender: Seems like I use this one a lot for some reason.

February 20, 200917 yr RM...its just a study, not anything else. Easter Passion March 11-27th. Thursday 10 AM Bible Study Tuesdays thru March 24th womans study Esther This is for anyone.

It isn't though, IMO. When you study the Bible, shouldn't what you derive from that study be consistent with your faith's beliefs? Otherwise, it's just a book club.
