[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People, it's not called tithing in the Catholic church.[/quote]
Even though that's what the Bible calls it?[/quote]

Catholics don't have much tradition of reading the Bible.  [/quote]

Have you been to a Catholic mass?  Evidently not if you say me don't have a tradition of reading the Bible.  Maybe you should come so you can see how stupid your statment sounds.[/quote]

I'm the PP you were responding to.  Yes, I was a cradle Catholic, altar girl etc.   I am very familiar with the excerpts from the Bible that are presented, out of context, during Mass.   I stand by my assertion that in the Catholic tradition, sitting down and reading the Bible cover to cover (as I see in many other Christian religions) and reading the Word of God straight from The Book, have not been historically emphasized.   So saying that something "is in the Bible" or "is the term used in the Bible" isn't really going to be a big influence for most Catholics.[/quote]
