Proselytizing is one thing and studying the Bible another. Very few churches go house to house without invitation. JW's and Mormons is all I can even think of. They come to my house too and it doesn't bother me. I do think that approach doesn't work. I think people who fly off the handle over JW's etc are being overly sensitive ... say you aren't interested the same way you do to other solicitors. Studying the Bible, though, that is the testimony of the faith. Here's something on Bible study a Catholic source: ... The BIble is God's living word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, revealing God's plan of salvation for mankind, written by human authors, relevant to all people of all cultures at all times.But if we are to be enabled to hear what God is saying to us through the words of Sacred Scripture, we need to combine biblical prayer with authentically Catholic bible study. The Catholic Church, contrary to widely held opinion, has never opposed the reading and study of the Bible. In fact, the Catholic Church has been a patron of bible studies from the day it was born on the feast of Pentecost. It has funded schools of biblical studies and archaeological work, such as the deciphering of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and issued documents providing guidance as we undertake the work of understanding, interpreting and applying Scripture. ... crossroadsinitiative.com
