It goes very well with the bestselling "Ignatius Catholic Study Bible," which is a favorite amongst Bible-believing Catholics everywhere.

Funny, because I've been through many Catholic Bible studies. Have you ever heard of the extremely popular Catholic podcast called "Bible in a Year"? You should check it out. It goes verse by verse through the word thing.

The Catholic Church has no problem with translating Scripture into different languages as long as they aren't heretical translations. Translating into the common tongue is a good thing. There have always been Catholic translations of the Bible in many languages. Remember that even the KJV came out *after* the Douay-Rheims (Catholic English Bible) was published. But even today I would condemn the Jehovah's Witness Bible (New World Translation), for example, and even stop its publication if I could -- not because I hate the Bible (quite the opposite), but because it is a bad and heretical translation of something holy.

I was a "King James Only" guy until I read the Protestant writer James R. White's book entitled "The King James Only Controversy" in the mid-1990s. It changed my whole view in one weekend. Really good. Another helpful book is "Where We Got the Bible" by Rev. Henry Graham. It dispels the common Protestant fiction of how the Catholic Church opposed the translation of the Scriptures into the common tongue.

That's good. I've never experienced too many good Bible studies with Protestants and nondenominationals, because many traditional Catholic interpretations tend to be rejected by nondenominationals. I hope that hasn't been your experience.

In doing good works, Catholics do not suffer from an irrational fear of possibly daring to earn their salvation. They're just trying to do what Jesus said to do. If they falter, they simply confess it and repent, and keep trying to live as Jesus taught us.

Jesus will not be referring to our employer's HR policy handbook when we face our personal judgment.

To me it's odd when I hear Protestant Christians say they love nothing more than talking with each other about the Bible. I understand what they mean, and maybe some really love sharing their biblical studies, which is good. Not to be nit-picky, but I'd say our focus in Christian fellowship ought to be on Jesus, on prayer, on the Church, on the sacraments, on our Christian journeys, etc. In other words, not just a Book *about* spiritual things, but in the spiritual realities themselves. If I'm at a restaurant, I might talk about and refer to the wonderful menu, but what I really want is to share and enjoy dinner itself. Just trying to keep it real.

Stay humble and stack #indulgences.

I do not 💯% disagree with that. Arguments did and do help me, but beauty is much more powerful. It can't be argued against.
