Experts say Catholics still don't read
the Bible regularly
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- While it may be a best-seller,
the Bible still is not regularly read, nor has it become an integral part
of many Catholics' lives, said a panel of biblical experts.
"Unfortunately, it must be said, there is still little Bible in the
lives of the faithful," said Italian Bishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of
the Catholic Bible Federation. Bishop Paglia,
together with a number of biblical experts, spoke at a Vatican press
conference Sept. 8 to present an upcoming international congress
commemorating the 40th anniversary of "Dei Verbum," the Second Vatican
Council document on Scripture and divine revelation.
The five-day conference gathered more
than 400 biblical experts from all over the world. Its aims included
pinpointing the current challenges and problems in making people aware of
the importance of the Bible. In divine
revelation, "God is talking to us as friends," said the cardinal.
The word of God is not an intellectual treatise on "supernatural
reality or arcane doctrine," he said; it is "person-to-person
communication" with God's loving voice speaking directly to the
individual.
The secretary-general of the Catholic Bible Federation, Alexander
Schweitzer, said the church needs to do more than just make the Bible
available to people; it needs, "at the same time, to provide the ways and
means (for people) to know how to use it."
