benedictaj Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Almost all the Bible, I missed a couple of OT books. I've read about a third of the Catechism... mostly for apologetics!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozencell Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 No to both, although I would like to read all of both at some point soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 You should read the Bible once a year. Catechism every time you feel you are getting fuzzy, or once every 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindomiel Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I've almost read the whole Bible: I'm finishing up the minor prophets right now. And I've read a little less than half of the Catechism. I have to admit that the Catechism isn't my favorite Catholic book. (Sounds bad, I know. ) I can't help prefering the writings of the saints. The Catechism is very helpful of course, though.

RascalJones Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Funny you should mention it. I recently found this blog. [url="http://onionboy.typepad.com/catholic_catechism_dialog/"]http://onionboy.typepad.com/catholic_catechism_dialog/[/url] It has a 1-year reading schedule for the Bible & Catechism. They started in back in March. I've read a little, but got behind. The schedule has usually one chap OT, One Psalm, and some NT, and a selection of the CCC for each day for 365 days. The schedule is a PDF...linked in the right column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 [quote name='Tindomiel' post='976019' date='May 9 2006, 11:24 AM'] I've almost read the whole Bible: I'm finishing up the minor prophets right now. And I've read a little less than half of the Catechism. I have to admit that the Catechism isn't my favorite Catholic book. (Sounds bad, I know. ) I can't help prefering the writings of the saints. The Catechism is very helpful of course, though. [/quote] Its not really written as literature, to read straight through. Catechists and apologists should be extremely well versed in the Catechism. I don't see anything wrong with prefering the writings of the saints as devotional reading. When learning about your faith you should turn to the catechism as it is our norm for teaching and understanding the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I got bogged down in Isaiah for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anastasia13 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I voted less than half of both. I have read very little of the catechism (I got it a couple years ago when I was in the Newman club) and have read probably close to half of the Bible, mostly in the new testament.

[/quote] lol. I used to be a math major, but i couldnt get passed it neither. Actually i read the whole catechism, straight through, and i was just as inspired as i read scripture.

Mercy me Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have read most of the Old Testament but books like Leviticus are just killers. I have read the entire New Testament many times. I have read the entire Catechism. When I got iit I was told to read it backwards. Start with the section based on the Lord's Prayer and then do the Creed. The Catechism is amazing. I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I like reading the catechism casually. Plus it is good to have around when someone attacks your faith. Good to be able to refer to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
