Have you read my book, God's Library? It's a good introduction to the Bible for Catholics. Check it out: http://www.loyolabooks.org/productdetail.asp?id=69903 Martha,

Preachers are ordained to inspire the laity with preaching on the Word of God. The reality is you or I could have done a much better job tying the scriptures of the day and the Pauline theme together. We could have spoken on the role of Paul as the great evangelizer. Instead you and the parishioners present could only draw upon leadership's ignorance. And clergy wonder why we no longer look up to them! Yes Paul, The homily’s definitely worth crying over.

We have attended a Christian Believer bible study at a Methodist Church, and they had intimate knowledge of the bible that it made us both ashamed. They certainly have a desire to learn.

No mention in my parish. That is too much information, but at least that priest acknowledged the Year of Paul. No mention in my parish.
