Hi Del,

As a fellow veteran of Catholic Schools, my recollection is that the Mother Church was a bit selective about the parts of the Bible it chose to highlight. Readings tending to come mostly from the New Testament, which apparently had been subverted somewhere along the line by socialists and moral relativists. The camel and the eye of the needle, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, stuff like that.

I can understand how righteous fundamentalists would choose to deemphasize that subversive propaganda and go for all those tried and true Old Testament. But I wonder how all those old Jews in the desert knew so much about what Christ wanted taught before He arrived, and why all that old stuff is inerrant while the new stuff all got corrupted.

It's a mystery to me, but having lapsed I don't worry about it too much anymore.

Cheers, Dan.
